It is dark. The sea is
rough. A strong wind blows.
God, you have fed them
with the bread of tears,
given them tears to
drink in full measure.
Will any escape to tell
the sad story?
Who can describe the
pain?
Have you come yet?
Will you come?
Lord Jesus?

and given them tears to drink in full measure.
Job 1:19
"…and suddenly a great wind came across the desert,
struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they
are dead; I alone have escaped to tell you." [A messenger, come to tell
Job about his ten children]
Acts 8:32-33
Now the passage of the scripture that [the Ethiopian eunuch]
was reading was this: "Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like
a lamb silent before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth. In
his humiliation justice was denied him. Who
can describe his generation? For his
life is taken away from the earth."
John 6:17b-18
It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to [his
disciples in the boat]. The sea became rough because a strong
wind was blowing.
