Soul Cry

The Lord says to the nations
'Now I will act
I will show how powerful I am'
Isaiah 33:10

God will act when He gets ready

So many tears to cry
They stopped falling
Only because
They have no heartbeat inside
Why did they have to die
On the streets of this land?
They had a family, had a life
They had a dream inside

Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?
Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?

God I am not questioning
Your sovereignty
I know in my heart
That you have all authority
See, I'm simply asking
The questions that pain so many hearts
There's so many questions
Lord, where do I start?
Why is this happening?
Why are we here?
Why is the finger's gear that of a trigger?
Who do we turn to?
When will it change?
They love themselves but don't love us the same
How do we keep our hearts free from the hate?
Please don't embarrass us
Keep us from shame
Some people telling us no need to pray
Imma still say my prayers in Jesus' name

Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?
Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?

I know it hurts
God knows I feel the pain
We gotta fight this thing together y'all
Oh... hand in hand
God, please go before us
Please keep our hearts filled with love, yeah...
I need you to give us wisdom
I need you to give us power
In this battle, Lord
You are our strong tower

Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?
Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?

If my people
Who are called by my name
Will humble
Themselves, pray and seek my face
And turn...
From their wicked ways
Then I will hear from heaven
Forgive their sin
And heal their land... (Oh)
Heal their land... (Oh)

Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?
Will you check my pulse?
Will you see if I am breathing?
Can you see my soul
Crying out? It's bleeding
Because of the blood on my country's hand
God will you please come and heal this land?
