I Cry Out To You

Written by Lance Krauter
Links to contributors: Tru North Music

Written by Lance Krauter and sung by his wife Susie, this wonderful song cries out to God for strength and protection. Like most great songs it sprang from a special situation, in this case adversity. The song was borne out of a struggle between the flesh and the Spirit. The only way to have victory is to cry out to Jesus. It is then, when we are broken, that in our weakness His strength is perfected. Sing along with Lance and cry out to God to be your strength. Be sure and also hear Love Found Me by Susie Krauter. - Elton, May 13, 2006

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
If I live or die,
may You be glorified oh Lord
A living sacrifice,
help me come alive once more

Who can fathom Your strength
Or the depths of your love?
Indescribable, all powerful You are

(Chorus)
I cry out to You
I cry out to You
Be my strength
Be my fortress, when I am weak.

I cry out to You
I cry out to You
Be my strength
Be my fortress, when I am weak.

(Verse 2)
On the mountain top,
In valley low, oh Lord
Days of sun or rain,
Help me live the life once more

Who can fathom Your strength
Or the depths of Your love?
Indescribable, all powerful You are

(Chorus)
I cry out to You
I cry out to You
Be my strength
Be my fortress,
when I am weak.

I cry out to You
I cry out to You
Be my strength
Be my fortress,
when I am weak.

(Bridge)
For You are my God,
You are my Father,
When You pick me up
On Your shoulders I am strong!
For You are my God,
For You are my Father,
When You pick me up
On Your shoulders I am strong!

(Chorus)
I cry out to You
I cry out to You
Be my strength
Be my fortress, when I am weak.

I cry out to You
I cry out to You
Be my strength
Be my fortress, when I'm weak.

Grace Rotondo2009-11-19There are so many trials that came into my life, but during those times, the only place I feel more secure and confident is to be with Jesus and Father GOD all the times. I cried out for help and mercy...begging that soon the pain go away and ease the burden. Oh, great GOD, you always restore me in the midst of sufferings even I failed you a lot of times.
Nora2009-10-28Yes, i cry out to you oh Lord.... my heart is in pain because i was deeply wounded by a friend, its so hard to trust again because the pain is unbearable, i'm tired to keep on searching for a true and real friend, all my friends are users, they keep on taking me for granted.

Gary Potratz2007-03-24This is such a beautiful song, it reflects alot of our daily prayers. So many times it seems as if God doesn't care, and then we cry out and see Him answer and then we know He is real and active and alive in our life today. What a wonderful way to share your music with others, giving all of us strength through music.
Thanks,
Michael2007-03-13Great song! As a worship leader in a small church, I'm always looking for songs that connect, that people can hang their hat on. Songs that say something and mean something and this song does just that.
