Refrain
Em D Bm Em
The Lord hears the cry of the poor,
C D Em
Blessed be the Lord.

C D Em C
1. I will bless the Lord at all times
G Am Bm Bm7
with praise ever in my mouth.
F B Em C
Let my soul glory in the Lord
Am7 Bm Em
who will hear the cry of the poor.

2. Let the lowly hear and be glad;
the Lord listens to their pleas;
And to hearts broken God is near;
who hears the cry of the poor.

3. Every spirit crushed God will save;
will be ransom for their lives;
will be safe shelter for their fears,
and will hear the cry of the poor.

4. We proclaim your greatness, O God,
Your praise ever in our mouth;
Every face brightened in your light,
For you hear the cry of the poor.
