Hymns and Songs are not just written for praising God.
Some are laments; songs written to express deep anger or pain to
God.  When the Israelites were in Babylon
they wrote songs of lament to express to God their agony and loss.   The song below, is lament from our
hymnal.  Pray through the words, or
listen to the recording, and take time to honestly speak with God about the
pain, frustration, and anger in your life.

In deepest night, in darkest days,
when harps are hung, no songs we raise,
when silence must suffice as praise,
yet sounding in us quietly
there is the song of God.

When friend was lost, when love deceived,
dear Jesus wept, God was bereaved;
so with us in our grief God grieves,
and round about us mournfully
there are the tears of God.

When through the waters winds our path,
around us pain, around us death:
deep calls to deep, a saving breath,
and found beside us faithfully
there is the love of God.
