Elohim
Words and Music by Mary-Kathryn & Paul Buono
Do you see the hunger burning in their eyes?
Or their fear of thunder falling from the skies?
Under toiling sun
They wander through the days
Searching for a home
Can you hear the darkness raining in the streets?
Or the cries of children afraid to fall asleep?
As the greed of man
Sets claim upon the dreams
Of the innocent
Hear my cry
Hear my prayer, Elohim
See their pain
See their need, Elohim
It’s for these that I pray
For these I seek
Set them free, heal their dreams, Elohim
Do what you’ve done for me
In this sea of wonder bitter is the cup
Of needless suffering arising from the dust
Can the ancient chains
Of the wrongfully accused
Ever be broken
Hear my cry
Hear my prayer, Elohim
See their pain
See their need, Elohim
It’s for these that I pray
For these I seek
Set them free, heal their dreams, Elohim
Do what you’ve done for me
