Lamentations 4:12-22 Marvelle Figueroa sings "Sandcastle"

This is a tough passage. Defeat, humiliation, devestation, and the false prophets led the sheep to the slaughter. Chad meditates on this heavy lament from the prophet Jeremiah and reminds us that our only hope is in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Marvelle Figueroa sings the haunting song "Sandcastle".

Ever watching Our own sandcastle Disintegrating  with wave after wave   I cannot trust in the hands of man When man believes in man Just like wishes in the sand They will all wash away And who could believe That those in whom we trusted Would practice to deceive And lead their sheep astray   Ever watching, ever waiting for a nation which we could not save. Ever watching Our own sandcastle Disintegrating with wave after wave   Chorus: Light of a better hope You arose, Jesus Christ Light to a darkened world You gave me faith, You gave me sight Light of a better hope Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ    Ever watching, ever praying for a nation Disintegrating Ever watching, ever praying For our own sandcastle Disintegrating
