Lamentations 4:1-11 Chris Lizotte sings "Fear Not"

Well this is a tough one... not really the most encouraging passage of scripture to meditate on, but there is so much wealth in these verses. We are encouraged to remember that wealth and status and pleasure can pass in an instant and each of us could wake up broke, sick, hurt, humbled and changed by circumstance. In this passage Jeremiah laments over the misery he sees. Chad leads us through this passage and points us to the sure hope of Christ, our Savior, who holds onto us and will never abandon us. Our friend Chris Lizotte sings "Fear Not".

Now the holy stones lie scattered what we held sacred, is now profaned     Chorus “Fear not, fear not, do not fear Peace be with you” In this world of tribulation Christ has overcome the world  “Fear not, fear not, do not fear Peace be with you” In this world of tribulation Christ has overcome the world  Fear not       Now Your wrath Has kindled a fire That consumed our foundations, they’re gone There's no drink, to quench for our thirst now Just the tune, of an old drunkards song   And the jackals Still feed their young But You’ve taken All   we’ve become We fall in the street, tripping on our feet We are all overrun
