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

info_outlinePart of the passage Chad looks at says;
“I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness;
I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you as a covenant for the people,
a light for the nations,
to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
from the prison those who sit in darkness.
I am the Lord; that is my name;
my glory I give to no other,
nor my praise to carved idols.
Behold, the former things have come to pass,
and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
I tell you of them.”
This is what our minds should dwell on. The beautiful love and mercy that has come for us and called us by name. Chad has an encouraging word for us and Markita Knight sings a beautiful song entitled "Behold".

Lyrics for "Behold"
Behold, the former things have come to pass,
and new things You now declare;
Behold, before they arrive (spring forth)
You’ve given us Your Word
And You hear, our desperate prayer
You will not destroy
The humbled soul
The bruised reed
The feeble and old
When I am broken
Lost and alone
You hold my hand
I am Your own
Chorus:
Behold, Jesus
We sing to You (we lift our eyes)
The deserts bloom, where mercy falls
And living waters renew
Behold Lord Jesus
Descending in love,
Rising in might
Crowned in glory
Reigning in light
Behold, You are gentle, You are kind
So full of mercy to the troubled mind
Behold, You bring forth truth and shine your light
The Judge of the earth will do what is right
to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
to bring out the prisoners who sit in darkness.
Thus says the Lord
Thus says our God
Behold Jesus
