Requiem: Eric Wolterstorff in Memoriam

Part II:

A Lament

Part II


Like a bird alone in the desert
...or an owl in a ruined house
I lie awake and I groan,
...like a sparrow lost on a roof.
Ashes are the bread that I eat,
...I mingle tears with my drink.

Psalm 102

From the depths I cry to you, O Lord,
...give heed to my lament.

Psalm 130

Does the grave declare your great love?

Is your truth proclaimed in the tombs?

Are your wonders admired in the dark

...or your mercy where all is forgotten?

Psalm 88

Why do you turn away?

Why do you hide your face?

I wait for you, my soul waits

...and in your word I hope.

Psalm 130

Restore me, O God my Savior.

Psalm 85
