Lamentations: innovative and inspiring

On Good Friday evening, we were heartened and uplifted by a very different service at the beautiful Catholic church where our wedding was celebrated seven years ago. Unsure quite what to expect, we settled into a darkened, strangely silent church for Lamentations - a reflective prayer experience acknowledging our personal sufferings and those of the world.

Burnin' (Nicole Nordeman)

Started rubbing sticks together
Thought a spark would take forever
Never dreamt this fire would appear
Moses saw the bush in flames
And heard the branches speak his name
I wonder if he felt this kind of fear

'Cuz I'm burnin', yeah I'm burnin'
And I know I'm gonna blister in these flames
And I'll stay here till this smoke clears
And I'll find you in the ashes that remain
