Pour Out Your Heart TAKE 2

[Intro — a cappella cry] (Eicha... Eicha...) [Verse 1] How lonely sits the city That once was full of song Her gates are still and empty now Her children carried off She weeps into the midnight With no one left to hold The city like a widow sits Alone among the coals (Eicha... alone... alone...) [Chorus] Arise, cry out in the night At the start of every watch Pour out your heart like water Before the face of the Lord (Elohim... pour it out) When there's nothing left to give Him Give Him every broken word Pour out your heart like water Before the face of the Lord [Verse 2] I rock you by the firelight You'll never see her walls The courts where mothers sang the psalms The temple's marble halls (Yerushalayim... Yerushalayim...) But child, I'll teach you sorrow The way my mother taught That even in the ashes Our God can still be sought (Elohim... still be sought...) [Chorus] Arise, cry out in the night At the start of every watch Pour out your heart like water Before the face of the Lord (Elohim... pour it out) When there's nothing left to give Him Give Him every broken word Pour out your heart like water Before the face of the Lord [Bridge] (Elohim... Elohim...) Is any sorrow like my sorrow? Is any night this long? (Eicha... Eicha...) But morning has a memory And grief becomes a song So hush now, little Aviva The river's running low I'll pour my heart like water It's all I have to pour (Elohim... all I have...) [Final Chorus — quieter, half-tempo] Arise, cry out in the night At the start of every watch Pour out your heart like water Before the face of the Lord (Elohim... Elohim...) When there's nothing left to give Him Give Him every broken word Pour out your heart like water Before the face of the Lord (Yerushalayim... Eicha...)
