Shout to the Lord Angry Lyrics


Shout to the Lord (Angry)
(Lyrics: Marcus Curnow 2005)


Why Jesus? Why favour
Those who do not like you?
All of my years I cry bitter tears
I wonder where’s your mighty love?

No comfort, No shelter
Where is the refuge and strength?
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to question You

Shout to/(at) the Lord
All the Earth, let us bring
Powerlessness, tragedy
Rail at the King
Mountains fall down
And the seas will roar
Hear the sound of the pain

I long to see the work
Of your hand
Forever I’ll seek you
Seek to understand
Nothing to hold
But the promise I have
In you

Marcus' version is certainly heartfelt, but not nearly as much fun as the rewrite of "Power of Your Love" I have heard (although the original _alternative_ lyrics are lost to time...)

ORIGINAL VERSION
Hold me close, let Your love surround me.
Bring me near, draw me to Your side.
And as I wait, I'll rise up like the eagle,
And I will soar with You, Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

CORRUPTED VERSION
Hold me close, Jesus, you're my boyfriend.
Bring me near, draw me to Your side.
And as I wait, I'll rise up like the eagle,
And I will soar with You, my emotions lead me on
In the power of this song.
