The Heavens Are Crying
Chorus:
The heavens are crying the children are dying
The trees of the field shed their tender leaves
All creation groans in bitter anguish moans
Holy angels bow their heads and grieve
Verse 1.
Helpless victims rivers run red they overflow with the blood that was shed
Millions sacrificed slaughtered we shutter amazes at the sight
In shock earth reels and quakes in horror hills tremble and shake
Convulsing and sighing lamenting their terrible plight
Verse 2.
Innocent blood cries from the ground the raging whirlwind echoes the sound
The sun and the moon pine away refusing to shine
Stars fall from the sky like sparks they flicker and die
Thick darkness cannot hide the shame of humanity's crime
Chorus 2.
The heavens are crying the children are dying
Crops fail and the vineyard ceases to yield her sweet wine
Nature is traumatized drought and famine paralize
Stunned by the brutality of our times
Verse 3.
Silent tears fall in torrents like rain form swollen streams of unspeakable pain
Rachael weeps in deep sorrow and grief no man can console
For the eyes that will never see and the lives that will never be
And cannot find comfort for her children for they are no mor
For each and every one who never felt the warmth of the sun
With her for these the loving heart of Father God mourns
Heaven's angels are crying for men's hearts have turned to stone
