Lament and Christian Worship
Recently, musician Michael Gungor Tweeted this: "Approximately 70 % of the Psalms are laments. Approximately 0 % of the top 150 CCLI songs (songs most sung in churches) are laments." In this WTCLive event we reflect with singer songwriter and worship leader Brian Doerksen on the place of lamentation in Christian worship. Why has lament fallen out of favour? What do we lose when we lose lament? We will consider these questions and yours during this live-streaming event.
Thank you Brian, Matt and Brad..
Loved this post, and was sad when it was finished ! The straightforward dialogue about the true place for lament TO and BEFORE God in our lives was so very helpful. What an invitation to honesty! Feeling the need for more of this.
