COVID-19 Lamentation

A Lamentation written by Deborah, Stephen, Tommy, and Luther (4.7.2020)

 

1 O Lord, You see our sadness. And You hear our cries for those we love.

Show us Your love and mercy.

 

2 Behold, Your people languish in confinement.

We are gripped in fear and loneliness.

We look out the window. How long O’ LORD?

 

3 We have trusted that You are the good Father,

You know Your sheep by name,

Know the number of their days,

See every tear they’ve shed,

And have not sat idly by,

But shone Your steadfast love.

 

4 Deliver us, O’ Lord.

Deliver us from this COVID-19 enemy.

Deliver us, O’ Lord from our fear and anxiety.

 

5 We praise You for keeping us,

We thank You for loving us.
