Keeping Score

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

(Psalm 56:8, Isaiah 49:15-16)

How can we measure the things we’ve lost?
Or what our freedom have cost?
Too many wounds to calculate;
is nobody keeping count?

And I can't recapture the person I was
before I was robbed by this place.

You have kept
count of my wanderings;
storing my tears in your bottle.
Aren’t they recorded,
written within your book?
My pain is not forgotten;
there’s one who’s keeping score.

High is the price of our perished parts:
our dreams, our childhoods and hearts.
Slain is our trust, our belief in love,
our vision, self-confidence.

And I can’t recover the person I was
before I was slaughtered by loss.

You have kept
count of my wanderings;
storing my tears in your bottle.
Aren’t they recorded,
written within your book?
My pain is not forgotten;
there’s one who’s keeping score.

None of my tears were private;
none of the pain is unseen.
I needn’t bill my brother,
or tally the boundless fee.

For he has felt the kiss of betrayal,
the burden of grief, the bite of our Hell.
He knows the price for innocence lost;
it's his right alone to repay the cost.

You have kept
count of our wanderings,
storing our tears in your bottle.
Aren't they recorded, written within your hands?
Our pain is not forgotten -
there’s one who understands.

Your pain is not forgotten
there's one who understands.
