Lord Jesus,
How can we extol you
when we are so full of grief?
How worship weeping at your footstool?
Hard, but made easier when
we remember you weep with us.
No grief we have experienced compares
to the sorrows and pain you endured.
Remembering, we extol you.
How can we extol you
when we are so full of grief?
How worship weeping at your footstool?
Hard, but made easier when
we remember you weep with us.
No grief we have experienced compares
to the sorrows and pain you endured.
Remembering, we extol you.
