“Don’t Cry Out Loud” is a song that has touched the hearts of many people since its release in 1978.
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
’cause she didn’t want parades just passin’ by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about ‘er ’cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
This is not a hymn but a recording of the lives of pain belonging to so many individuals. The theme is just suck it up and move on with your life. Good luck with that.
God gives us as believers a much better alternative. So many times, in the Psalms we see similar situations with more blessed outcomes.
Psalm 55:22-23
Cast your cares on the Lord
and He will sustain you;
He will never let
the righteous be shaken.
But you, God, will bring down the wicked
into the pit of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful
will not live out half their days.
But as for me, I trust in You.
Give it some thought and don’t take up with some clown.
