Weeping Rachel
A voice is heard: lamentation.
Rachel's weeping for her children.
She's crying; she's shouting,
And refuses to be comforted fro her children-
Because they were not.
They are no more,
Until a voice is heard: rhema.
Weep no more for your children.
Refrain from your tears.
Your cries and shouts are before me;
They will be attended.
Your work will be rewarded,
And your children will come back from the enemy's land.
There's hope for your future-
They will come back to their own border.
A voice is heard: celebration.
Rachel's weeping for her children.
Dedicated to Tasha Lane
Jeremiah 31:15-17
