A hymn i heard from the CGST course in last Tuesday.
A song of lamentation typically have a character,
which the attitude changed to positive or praise,
that is the most difficult for people to be.

< Night and Morning I Make My Prayer >
Refrain:
O God, my God, O gracious God,
Why do you seem so far from me,
O God, my God, O gracious God?
1. Night and Morning I make my prayer:
Peace for this place and help for there;
Waiting and wondering, waiting and wondering,
Does God care? Does God care?
2. Pain and suffering unbound and blind;
Plague the progress of humankind,
Always demanding, Always demanding,
Does God mind? Does God mind?
3. Why, oh, why do the wicked thrive,
Poor folk perish, the rich survive;
Begging the question, begging the question,
Is God alive? Is God alive?
4. Turn again as you hear my plea;
Tend the torment in all I see;
Loving and healing, Loving and healing,
Set me free. Set me free.
Lyrics: Iona Community based on Ps 22:1-2
