about

Some call it a gospel song, and other think of it more as a spiritual
song.
Stylistically, it's somewhere between Bluegrass and Mountain Music, Americana and Pop.
Theme of this song hearkens to the spirit of old-timey music with a commentary on our modern times, and a testimonial of personal salvation.

lyrics

My Cry
By Eric Wennerstrand
Released 01/21/2023

The times are wicked, when the evil rule.
wise man suffers at the hand of a fool.
But the Lord of lords hears my cry.

The days are painful when lying reign
When our children are forsaken for the sake of gain
But the Lord of lord hears my cry.

I know, all my trials, he's always seen me through.
I know, he hears your prayers: he's lookin out for you to.
He loves us so, he sent Jesus to die. He is risen from
the dead, now the Lord oh my Lord hears my cry.

The nations, they tremble, and the killers kill, My
people are dying for the sake of a thrill.
But the Lord of lords hears my cry.

I know, all my trials, he's always seen me through.
I know, he hears your prayers: he's lookin out for you to.
He loves us so, he sent Jesus to die. He is risen from
the dead, now the Lord oh my Lord hears my cry.
:
The law is corrupt and justice for sale.
The lawless go free and the prisons fail.
Taxes levied, a debtor’s jail,
and those who pay are living in hell.
A preacher lies, blind as a bat,
leaching off the poor and getting fat.
Nature destroys; inflicts with pain
We wallow in our pity, and we try to stay sane.
:
But the Lord of lords hears my cry.
But the Lord of lords hears my cry.
But the Lord, oh my lord is my cry,

E is for Epic image

E is for Epic Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"...His style of playing is called "epic". Epic- as applied to music means bombastic, profoundly large in scope or depth and well composed. He says that’s what he aims for. "It has to be dynamic and interesting, or it isn’t music" he says."
— KAY STARR EDITED BY: VIKKI LOCKE, The Rhythm Authority ... more
