But We Cry Out
PBA-005"But We Cry Out" is a powerful declaration of dependence on God in times of trouble. The alla breve (2/2) time signature gives it a driving, urgent quality — the cry is not passive but active, a deliberate turning to God.
Scripture
Psalm 34:17 — "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles"
Inspiration
Written in response to seasons of difficulty — both personal and communal — where the only honest response is to cry out to God.
Performance Notes
The 2/2 should drive forward with purpose — this is an urgent prayer, not a meditation. Build intensity throughout. The word 'cry' should be sung with conviction, not timidity.
