Analysis of Cry Out
When the dark is overwhelming
And the night is long.
I search for the light,
For where I belong.
You reveal who You are
And who I am in You.
My healing comes from my Lord.
Everyday, Your mercy is new!
You leave Your foot prints to follow.
You have a glorious plan.
When I cried out for You,
That’s when my life began.
