Lamentations Chapter 1 Poem by Tinashe Mupedzapasi

What is there in life
What is so special about it
Living with my heart in my hand
Oh LORD,
Will the fear of tomorrow ever end?

I have lost all my comfort
I have my eyes set on the road
Ears locked on the walls
Fearing the evil that im always promised
My heart trembles to the calling of my name

Though I lament in pain and in sorrow
Though in my enemy's encompassment
Come ye all evil, I shall tremble not
For the Lord of host is my banner
I will fight my battles with Faith and strength

Tremble not ooh you heart of flesh
For not forever shall you toil and bleed
You have a home and a rest waiting for you
Just live and fight until the end
Wash your stains in the blood of life.
