Let There Be Life Lyrics

You created my innermost parts

You knitted me together in my mother's womb

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made

How wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well

My frame was not hidden from you as I was being made in secret

Intricately woven in the depths of the earth

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance

In your book were written all the days that were ordained for me

When as yet there was not one of them

I hear the sound of children crying

Beneath the ground, quiet yet loud

I hear their cry for love and mercy

A cry for life, just the chance to be

Who will speak for all the oppressed and needy

Who will be the voice for those who can't speak

I hear the lies people are telling

To drown out the cries of the ones they're slaying

I hear the sound of their silence calling

Let freedom ring, let it ring again

Let freedom ring, let it ring again

Who will speak for all the oppressed and needy

Who will be the voice for those who can't speak

Let there be life

Let there be life

Let there be life

Let there be life Cause love is always right

Love means life

Love means life

Who will speak for all the oppressed and needy

Who will be the voice for those who can't speak

Let there be life

Let there be life Cause love is always right

Love means life

Love means life

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves

Ensure justice for those being crushed

Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless

And see that they get justice
