A Lament for Our Sacrifices

Posted on March 28, 2023 by Joe Chambers

Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved.
A broken human being took the lives of other human beings.
Why do you do nothing while children are being killed?
Lord, when will you soften the hearts of men over the violence in our land?

A broken human being took the lives of other human beings.
Her face and hand against that window, begging for rescue has broken my heart.
Lord, when will you soften the hearts of men over the violence in our land?
We are sacrificing our children on the altar of our idol—Lord, have mercy.

About Joe Chambers

I am the beloved of the Most High God. I am an avid reader and writer and have been a continuous learner since my college studies in Ancient Literature and English. I live at the base of Mount Princeton in the Colorado Rockies with my wife of over three decades. I believe I have been put here to tell people that God is not mad at them and to show them the way Home. I am the father of three sons, three beautiful daughters-in-law and four grandchildren. I love to read, tell stories, and spend time in the wilderness.
