Song Story:    This song's timeline:
1.  I got to church at 5:10   for a 6 P.M  choir practice.
2.  By 5:35, I had practiced my instrument for all the church's music for the night,
     so I pulled out my journal.
3.  I sketched verse 1 in under 5  minutes.
4.  I wrote a melody to the full song in another 5 minutes.
5.  I wrote chords to the full song in about 3 minutes, though I later changed a few.
6.  I typed up the music sheet that night.
7.  I created the initial music tracks in my studio in about 1/2 hour that night.
8.  I put the song page on DiDoReflections.com  the next day.
9.  We recorded the audio a few days later.

LYRICS

1
Sometimes I  SHOULD  cry.
Sometimes weeping is good.
Sometimes sharp heartache is my best GIFT for my Lord.... for
always God seeks humbleness --
not my selfish pride, that makes EXCUSES for my sin --
pride that refuses  to cry.

Chorus 1
God, I'm often scared to pray my deep heartfelt cry--
but I cry MAKE ME HOLY LORD, THOUGH I
MUCH PREFER TO HIDE my sins......
not just selfish reasons.....
God,  I weep in sorrow at the PAIN I have caused YOU. 
I need Your help:  make me Holy so I'll
STOP grieving You.  Ephesians 4, verse 30 to 32.    [New King James Version]
2
Sometimes     WE      SHOULD  cry.
Sometimes weeping is good.
Sometimes sharp heartache is our best GIFT for our Lord.... for
always God seeks humbleness --
not our selfish pride, that makes EXCUSES for our sins --
pride that refuses  to cry.
Chorus 2
God, we're often scared to pray our deep heartfelt cry--
but we cry MAKE US HOLY LORD, THOUGH WE
MUCH PREFER TO HIDE our sins......
not just selfish reasons..... 
God,  we  weep in sorrow at the 
PAIN I have caused YOU. 
We need Your help:  make us Holy so we'll
STOP grieving You.  Ephesians 4, verse 30 to 32.    [New Living Translation]

3
Sometimes     Our CHURCH      SHOULD  cry.
Sometimes weeping is good.
Sometimes sharp heartache is our best GIFT for our Lord.... for
always God seeks humbleness --
not our selfish pride, that makes 
EXCUSES for Church sins --
pride that refuses  to cry.
Chorus 3
God's Church often fears to pray our deep heartfelt cry--
but the Church cries, MAKE US HOLY LORD, THOUGH WE
MUCH PREFER TO HIDE our sins......
not just selfish reasons.....

God, Your Church weeps in sorrow at the 
PAIN we have caused YOU. 
We need Your help:  make us Holy so we'll  
STOP grieving You.   Ephesians 4,    verse 30 to 32.     
                       [New American Standard Bible, a close translation word by word]          

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” 
     -- Ephesians 4:  30-32 ... Written to the CHURCH  at Ephesus  (KJV)

    “I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you,... because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of 
sorrow God wants his people to have... 
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation.    There's no regret for that kind of sorrow...
Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! 
Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.”       
-- God’s  Word through His messenger, Paul,  via the
 Second Letter to the Church  of the Corinthians 7: 8-11 New Living Translation
