thoughts on a lament

And you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ezekiel 19:1

Weeping
mourning
grieving
at the loss of

Ruling
growing
thriving
in the light of

Praying
loving
singing
to the God of

Caring
helping
and
healing

Knowing
hurting
crying
at the hands of

Hating
forcing
killing
in the land of

Serving
humbling
bowing
in contrition

Turning
trusting
waiting
on the God of

Repenting
renewing
and
restoring.
