about

One of the saddest songs referencing some of the Bible's saddest stories.
For when we need to know suffering is normal, we're in holy company and we're not alone.

Jeremiah 31.15/Matthew 2.18
Psalm 137
Psalm 44
Genesis 4.10

lyrics

She is weeping, Rachel’s weeping for her children
She refuses, she refuses to be comforted
She is weeping, Rachel’s weeping for her children
because they are no more
Oh oh - oh

We remember, we remember all that we have lost
By the waters, by the waters of that Babylon
We remember, we remember all that we have lost
there we sat down and wept
Oh oh - oh

O my God, how? O my God, how is it possible
All day long, we, all day long we face a brutal world.
O my God, how? O my God, how is it possible?
Why do you hide your face?
Oh oh - oh

What have we done? What have we done to our siblings?
Hear their blood cry, hear their blood cry from the blessed earth
What have we done? What have we done to our siblings?
O God, have mercy on us
Oh oh - oh
