How great is the cry of grief and pain rising up from the Earth today – the howl of mothers whose children have been killed by hunger and violence and sickness; the wounded and dying sons and fathers and husbands crying out for comfort in trenches and POW camps; the refugees weeping for the loss of their unique distinctives to be tossed into a nameless mass of people who must be helped; the breadwinner whose winnings no longer pay for a loaf; the Creation which groans and writhes under the burdens of pollution and raped treasures and spilled blood . ..
The list goes on and on. How deep the ache in the heart of God for this, the home He planned made for Himself, and the people He made to dwell with Him. How profound the lament: may this song by Grace Nadine help us to sound it.
As we seek to tune in to the particular sound the Lord is laying on our hearts, it is clear from both the state of the world around us, and how the lord himself feels over it, that deep must call to deep and prayer and heart cry be offered to Him. Grace Nadin’s beautiful song is just such a cry from deep within the heart. May He use it to stir our desire to lift our heart and voice in prayer for many who are in urgent need of His reassuring touch and profound intervention.
Musicians: Megan Topper, Nicola Gerrard, Shirley Richards, Jo Garcia, Christiane von Albrecht.
