Sometimes all we can say is "Lord , have mercy, Christ have mercy. Jeremiah could see what was happening, and was serving God by warning everyone. God understands and is our only hope. Still, it hurts to see the pain of sin and it's consequences, and we can relate. Lord have mercy on us. Rebekah Caggegi sings "So You Cry".

Lyrics:

“And So You Cry”

The children cry to their mothers

“Where is the bread and wine?”

As they faint in the streets of the city

Fade away before their time.

What can I say for you

O daughter of Jerusalem?

What can I say for you

Your ruin is vast as the sea

vast as the sea

Chorus:

So you cry, cry out in the night,
Pour out your heart like water
let tears stream down like a torrent
day and night!
So you cry, in prayer to the Lord

for the saving of your children,
Who stumble for want of knowledge

And lack of sight

And so you cry

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy

On me

Your prophets have led you astray now

Tell me where was the word of truth?

They filled their purses with money

But their speeches only confused.

What can I say for you

O daughter of Jerusalem?

What can I say for you

Your ruin is vast as the sea

Chorus:

And so you cry, cry out in the night,
Pour out your heart like water
let tears stream down like a torrent
day and night!
So you cry, in prayer to the Lord

for the saving of your children,
Who stumble for want of knowledge

And lack of sight

And so you cry

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy

On me
