Plan a set around Lament →Lament gives a congregation permission to bring unresolved pain into worship instead of performing a smile they don't feel. A worship leader reaches for these songs after a tragedy, during a season of collective grief, or whenever the honest thing to sing is a question rather than an answer, trusting that Scripture itself makes room for this.
It's the smallest theme on the site, just 20 songs, which makes the ones churches do sing feel deliberate. Bethel Music's Egypt leads the category, with Matt Boswell's Lord From Sorrows Deep I Call (Psalm 42) and ICF Worship's In My Midnight also showing up again and again in church setlists.
