Lament

Here is a great song by Pam Thum. Lament songs are not that popular, but she has a few great ones.

You turn the key
Then close the door behind you
Drop your bags on the floor
You reach for the light
But there's darkness deep inside
And you can't take it anymore
'Cause sometimes living takes the life out of you
And sometimes living is all you can do

Life is hard, the world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Yes, life is hard
But God is good.

You start to cry
'Cause you've been strong too long
And that's not how you feel
You try to pray
But there's nothing left to say
So you just quietly kneel
In the silence of all that you face
God will give you His mercy and grace
Jesus never said
It was an easy road to travel
He only said that you would never be alone
So when your last thread of hope
Begins to come unraveled
Don't give up- He walks beside you
On this journey home.
And He knows

Life is hard
The world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Yes, life is hard.
But God is good.
