Lamentations means "tears." Often we see tears in the church -- tears of joy, tears of sorrow, tears of anger, tears of thanksgiving.
The book of Lamentations has many tears of sadness in its pages. The writer calls out to the Lord in Chapter 2, "Look, O Lord, and consider: Whom have you ever treated like this?" We too may cry out to God like this. In the beginning of chapter 3, we hear of great pain, fear and sorrow.
