Where Joy and Sorrow Meet

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

(1 Thessalonians 4:13, Romans 7:14-25)

We are living canvas at the tension point,
caught between the already and not yet.
So, no wonder we feel torn.

We are living, reeling on the boundary,
feeling every spark against the darkness.
Here we die and are reborn.
So, no wonder we feel torn.

Standing where
joy and sorrow meet.
Living where
joy and sorrow meet.

We are living right on the periphery;
drawn between a Gospel and a war.
So, no wonder we feel worn.

We embody joy and a catastrophe:
this is how we’re living paradoxically.
So, no wonder we feel worn.

Standing where
joy and sorrow meet.
Living where
joy and sorrow meet.

We grieve our dead
We feast on hope
We’ve lost and we’ve bled
We’ve risen in song
We’ve felt despair
and revelled in peace
We’ve waited so long
to finally see

We've grieved our dead
We feast on hope
We’ve lost and we’ve bled
We’ve risen in song
We’ve felt despair
and revelled in peace
We’ve waited so long
to finally see

where joy and sorrow meet.
