Lament

I weep for my people
I weep for my loved ones
I weep for the little child
Hungry and loveless.

Fill me with compassion
Touch me with your tears.

I weep for creation
I weep for the barren land
I see the injustice
Come and untie my hands.

I weep for your broken lives
I weep for your hearts of stone
I weep for your loneliness
Why must I weep alone?
