lament part one - a new liturgy lyrics

Loading...

[intro: jenna perrine]
welcome
we invite you to the practice of lament

[verse: david gungor]
i bring you my pain
i bring you my sorrow
i bring you my shame
the threat of tomorrow
i’ve heard that you’re close to the broken*hearted
and near to the cries of the poor
well prove it, i’m on the floor
i’ll wait
[step 1: jenna perrine]
holy, loving god
we cry out to you
in the depths of our despair
in the chaos of our crisis
in the anguish of our agony
we cry out your name

[step 2: jenna perrine]
lord, can you hear us?
we are weary and worn out
broken and beaten
heartbroken, and hungry
for justice, relief, healing, love
we speak to you our pain

[step 3: jenna perrine]
holy, loving god
we know you are the god who hears
who bends low to listen
who draws near to heal
who carries our crises
and who has walked in our skin
we affirm our trust in you

[verse: david gungor]
i bring you my pain
i bring you my sorrow
i bring you my shame
the threat of tomorrow
[step 4: jenna perrine]
lord, help us
intervene, act, save us
rescue, redeem
do not abandon us here
if you are indeed the god
who is close to the broken hearted
draw close, show up, heal this
we beg for your help and intervention

[step 5: jenna perrine]
lord, can you hear us?
our brokenness is ever before us
yes, we too have caused pain
we are not blameless in your sight
but this storm has raged against us
mercilessly, relentlessly
we cannot go on like this
we share with you the story of our pain

[step 6: jenna perrine]
lord, we cannot ignore the face of our pain
the source of our injustice
the inflictor of this wound
their face is ever before us
mocking, hurting, blaming
let your justice roll down upon them
we speak our yearning for your justice
on behalf of our enemies
