Lament (Psalm 77)

Seth shares a song of lament birthed out of Psalm 77 and walking through the process of both his family's failed adoption and his friend's ongoing struggle in a successful adoption.

I cry aloud to God
aloud to God and He will hear me
In the day of my troubled soul
I reach out and seek You, Lord
but I can't feel You

In the night of my pain
darkness falls, questions rage
Have You forsaken?
O God, have You left me all alone?

You keep my eyes from sleep
so troubled I cannot speak a word
I consider the days of old
when I felt Your love and held Your hope
Where have they gone?

In the night of my pain
faith has fled, doubts remain
Have you forsaken?
O God, have You left me all alone?

Your ways, O God
Your ways, O God, are holy
Holy

Your ways, O God
Your ways, O God, are holy
You are holy

The pain that goest deepest is drawn from those closest, as our children hurt us we’ve hurt our parents as they hurt their parents, all the way back to the garden. But one Son in a different garden honored the Father for all of us.

Bless you, Seth, for giving us such a beautiful song and for letting God's word speak to our hearts in this generation.

I struggle with depression and anxiety. When I am down I listen to this to cry away my despair then it shows me verse 10 & 11 and I remember all the gifts the lord has given me since I chose to follow Him 16 years ago. Thank you for this gift from God.

These cries ECHO my cries in the night. 😕 😞

AND, the cry of JOY that comes from REMEMBERING. 🤔

There should be more such lamentation songs

I found this song years ago after my mom was diagnosed with cancer and cried. My daughter has now been diagnosed with cancer at 19 and the tears will not stop. Thank you for this song.

[andymitchel]

Well done and thank you. This met a deep spiritual need I have in these times. I'm passing it on to others who are grieved and afraid.

[mariavani]

Awesome vocals ! So beautiful! Thank you

[Shalomalechm]

Today I pray with you, may the lord have mercy on us

[applebottomjeans]

This is one of the most incredibly, viscerally real and honest worship songs I’ve heard. Thank you.

[davidbeck]

This is an amazing version of Psalm 77. Captures the angst and pain of the psalmist. I pray that you have come through this challenging episode of your life. Glory be to God in all circumstances.

I have been seeing 77 on heaps of car number plates and heard the lord say this is the song you need to hear

[luckduck]

There had been a transition in my life a few years back, and as I go to Hong Kong, I feel that I have been drifting further and further away from the faith. I use to be so much more devout in my living, but as time passes, I feel that my relationship with God is drifting further and further away. A part of me thought, if my time on Earth is done, I might not even get to see the Lord. I actively search and try to see where is God, but I just cant find Him. This song made me cry, as it resonate so much with me. Thank you

[keithgarcia]

Love this song. So raw and real. Has helped me express my feelings to God. I wish I could purchase it. God bless!

[gaylenkeys]

Amen! I can't say enough about song... I stumbled upon it a few years ago in my pain of relationships lost. Seth, whoever you are, the Holy Spirit anointed you to write and sing this song. I don't think anyone could have presented it more beautifully. I have cried many healing tears listening to you sing this song created from God's LIVING Word..and making it my own prayer to God. I share it with others as well (including tonight, with a woman I met, who's only son ran away from home 2 weeks ago). Thank you, brother!!

[juliamelone]

Listened again... so thankful for the pain and honesty of the song

[noahcutshaw]

Thank you. Many times in the darkest night of my soul I cry aloud with this song to God who hears me.

Can I get the chords for this?

We may all have the same song or our prayers or verses, but we all never had the same struggles and frustrations in life.
