Child Your Cries Have Awoken The Master Lyrics
Verse 1
Crossing the calm sea with Jesus,
The disciples were getting concerned,
The winds started violently blowing,
But he was asleep in the stearn,
Does he not care that we perish?
We’re helpless and we’re so afraid,
Jesus arose when they called him,
And said to them where is your faith?
Chorus
Because you’ve prayed all night
Cause you’ve held on with all of your might
Child your cries have awoken the master
Oh he knows your voice
Lift your hands it’s time to rejoice
Child your cries have awoken the master.
Verse 2
It hit you without any warning,
The storm of your life had begun,
Seeing no hope in the distance,
You’re frightened and nowhere to run,
By now your vessel is filling,
And you’re thinking that you’ll surely drown,
You cried out for help from the Savior,
And you know you can’t give up now…
Bridge
You’re up there worried that he’s fast asleep,
The winds are so deadly, the water’s so deep,
But try to be patient, cause soon he’ll bring peace,
Just one word from his voice and it all must cease.
Notes
The hymn Child, Your Cries Have Awoken the Master is a powerful message of hope, trust, and faith in God’s ability to calm the storms of life. For a Christian, it reflects the experience of feeling overwhelmed by life’s trials but being reminded that Jesus is always present, even when it seems He is silent or distant.
The song takes inspiration from the biblical account of Jesus calming the storm while He and His disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee. In the first verse, the disciples are fearful as the storm grows violent, yet Jesus is asleep. They question if He cares about their peril, a feeling many believers can relate to when facing difficult challenges.
The chorus brings the assurance that even though believers may feel like they’ve been struggling and praying through the “night” of their troubles, God hears their cries. The phrase “your cries have awoken the Master” reminds Christians that their prayers are never ignored, and that God responds to their need in His time.
The second verse describes life’s storms that hit suddenly and without warning, making believers feel like they are sinking. Yet, the hymn encourages them to continue trusting in God, for He will bring peace and deliverance with just a word, as Jesus calmed the storm in the Gospel story.
Ultimately, this hymn is a reminder to remain patient, trusting that God’s power is greater than any storm and that He is always ready to bring peace and rescue His people.
