Cains Cry in the Night Lyrics

A field beneath the setting sun

Two brothers stood their work was done

But jealousy grew a shadow's flame

And in the stillness the blood called a name

The ground cried out the earth did weep

A brother's bond now buried deep

The curse was spoken the mark was made

A restless wanderer by guilt betrayed

Cain's cry in the night echoes through time

A heart broken by envy's climb

From Eden's loss to the restless plain

Cain's cry in the night bears sorrow and painAm I my brother's keeper? he said

The weight of his actions filled him with dread

A life taken a family torn

A lonely path forever worn

The mercy of God though justice was near

Spared him the fate of death's dark fear

Marked but not forgotten lost but not alone

A wandering soul far from his home

Cain's cry in the night echoes through time

A heart broken by envy's climb

From Eden's loss to the restless plain

Cain's cry in the night bears sorrow and pain

Oh the weight of sin it bends the knee

But even in judgment there's mercy to see

For though we fall His grace abides

A call to repentance where love resides

Cain's cry in the night echoes through time

A heart broken by envy's climb

From Eden's loss to the restless plain

Cain's cry in the night bears sorrow and pain

The cry of man still lingers today

A need for redemption to light the way

Through Jesus Christ the curse is undone

The cry of the lost is answered by the Son
