"This Poor Man Cried" Lyrics

CHORUS
This poor man cried, the Lord heard him
Saved him out of his trouble
Saved him out of his trouble
Saved him out of his trouble.
(1st time: Well he)This man cried, the Lord heard him
Saved him out of his trouble
And He'll do the same for you.

Peter saw Jesus walkin' the sea
He said "Bid me, come to thee".
Lord said "come" and Peter stepped out
to take a walk on top of the sea.
Winds got strong and Peter got scared,
Took his eyes off the Lord.
He began to sink, but Jesus reached down
And put him back on board.

REPEAT CHORUS

Now, Elijah went up on the mountain that day
(To prove his god was real)
The prophets of Gilead gathered around
To their god to appear, yeah.
They cried and cried for mornin' 'til night,
Even cut themselves with knives.
But when it all ended up their god didn't hear
And all of them lost their lives.

REPEAT CHORUS

Now, here's a boy I'd like you to meet,
My old heart, it was wrecked by sin.
Well, I tried ev'rything the world had to give,
but it bought no peace within.
Well now, I thank God for an old offer when I knelt down to pray.
When Jesus came in, saved me from sin
And I'll never forget that day

REPEAT CHORUS

This poor man cried, the Lord heard him
Saved him out of his trouble
Saved him out of his trouble
Saved him out of his trouble.
This man cried, the Lord heard him
Saved him out of his trouble
And He'll do the same
(He'll do the same)
He'll do the same for you.

Oh, for you.
He'll do it for you.

He'll do the same for you.

He'll do the same for, He'll do the same for
He'll do the same for you.
(Repeat multiple times with ad. libs by lead and tenor)
