Though We Weep

City of Light Iglesia | Church

"'Though We Weep'" is a story of dark nights and brighter mornings, the God who is the same in the lowest valley and the highest heights, the invitation to be planted in the joy of the Lord, even in the midst of fear, loneliness, and death. These are songs we've been singing as a people at City of Light and songs that have been born out of intense wrestling and loss for us as songwriters. They have also been a source of rich joy, fun, collaboration, and creativity—a manna in this desert season, and we hope you are strengthened in joy. May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth.”

—Bonnie McMaken

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.

Habakkuk 3:17-19
