'The Cry' by William McDowell

Billboard-topping gospel singer William McDowell released the deluxe digital version of his latest album, The Cry, this week, with live videos to go along with wash song. The music leader, who's also a pastor, has made a career of leading people into a deeper shout of worship.

The title track of the album is a beckoning to God and a declaration of perseverance in faith. The deluxe album was released at a time where Americans were asked to take enhanced precautions and practice social distancing to help stop the spread of coronavirus. McDowell refrained from announcing the deluxe release until Friday.

“It was released during all of this news about the virus worldwide and it never felt like the right time to say anything about it,” he shared on Instagram. “The well being of everyone is far more important than trying to ‘promote’ something so I didn’t say a word. However, I want you to be able to see this worship experience.”

The following is the power charged words of the song, “The Cry.”

There is a cry

That comes from our hearts

To the One who can satisfy it all

He will answer when we call

There is a sound

Released from the depths of our souls

To the One who holds it all

He will answer when we call

So we cry with humble expectation

We cry with a sound of desperation

We'll cry 'til we get Your attention
