1. Forsaken
    By: The Many

    Another gorgeous and soulful song of lament and longing by the Many. The lyrics were written by The Many's primary lyricist Lenora Rand, and the music by Lenora's husband Gary and daughter Hannah. This amazing family of co-writers and artists is blessing CMP and the Church with some of the best new worship music to be found. Taking it's cue from Jesus' cry on the cross from Psalm 22, this song taps into our experience of God's seeming absence in times of great struggle and pain, yet leans toward hope and faith and healing. Perfect for Lent and Holy week of course, but these themes are with us always and this song should and will be used throughout the year to help us express these deep and real longings of the human spirit for God to break in and break through.

  2. Peter's Lament
    By: Jim Martin

    Especially powerful as a Good Friday/Passion Week solo. Pensive and soul-searching, with reflections of Psalm 22, Romans 7, and the Passion Story. Without using scapegoat theology, it looks at what our lack of faith does to God’s heart. Originally with soft guitar accompaniment, the new piano arrangement adds soulful versatility. Learn More
