Show Notes
This is a tough passage. Defeat, humiliation, devestation, and the false prophets led the sheep to the slaughter. Chad meditates on this heavy lament from the prophet Jeremiah and reminds us that our only hope is in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Marvelle Figueroa sings the haunting song "Sandcastle".

Lyrics to "Sandcastle"
We walked as the blind
In the streets of the city
When destruction came near
Our eyes could not see
They were the eagles
And we were the prey
They lied in the name of God
And we all turned away
Ever watching, ever waiting
for a nation
which we could not save.
Ever watching Our own sandcastle
Disintegrating
with wave after wave
I cannot trust in the hands of man
When man believes in man
Just like wishes in the sand
They will all wash away
And who could believe
That those in whom we trusted
Would practice to deceive
And lead their sheep astray
Ever watching, ever waiting
for a nation
which we could not save.
Ever watching Our own sandcastle
Disintegrating
with wave after wave
Chorus:
Light of a better hope
You arose, Jesus Christ
Light to a darkened world
You gave me faith, You gave me sight
Light of a better hope
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Ever watching, ever praying
for a nation
Disintegrating
Ever watching, ever praying
For our own sandcastle
Disintegrating
