I hear a cry for freedom
From the heart of South Sudan
From persecuted believers
Driven from their land
Too many years they have suffered
And too many people have died
I'm calling out to You
Hear their freedom cry
I hear a cry for mercy
From the orphans of the war
Who live their childhood days in fear
And never know what life is for
In slavery they have suffered
Their innocence has died
I'm calling out to You
Hear their freedom cry
Say a prayer for the saints of Sudan
When you pray tonight
Justice and mercy
Peace in the land
For Sudan tonight
Say a prayer for the saints of Sudan
When you pray tonight
Justice and mercy
Peace in the land
For Sudan tonight
Forgotten in a world of knowing
Years of war and pain
The prisoners of this wilderness
We're calling you to pray
I hear a song of freedom
From a burned-out church to pray
They will keep believing
Peace will come one day
Their hope it is in Jesus Christ
And for this faith they die
I'm calling out to You
Hear their freedom cry
Say a prayer for the saints of Sudan
When you pray tonight
Justice and mercy
Peace in the land
For Sudan tonight
Say a prayer for the saints of Sudan
When you pray tonight
Justice and mercy
Peace in the land
For Sudan tonight
Hear their freedom cry
Sudan, Sudan
Hear their freedom cry
Sudan, Sudan
Hear their freedom cry
I hear a cry for freedom
