- A Lament for a Tragic World
- I
- Drifting through time, passing life.
- The years turn like a dream.
- Rushing around for fame and wealth.
- Lives spent for things of flesh.
- Nothing has been given to the truth.
- Days, months, and years
- just pass like this.
- No thought of God's own sufferings
- or His great loveliness.
- Just idly passing empty days.
- Not one day lived for God.
- Never cause God's lips to smile.
- Hollow and nothing special.
- Who has understood God's heart?
- Who can share with God
- life and death?
- Who has treasured all His words?
- Who has devoted to God their all?
- When will spring flowers
- pause their blooming?
- True love is here in this world.
- Sorrow and joy, ups and downs.
- Circle of seasons, going on and on.
- God's been forsaken year after year.
- What a tragic world!
