A Poem On ‘Jesus Wept’

‘Jesus wept’ in sweet sympathy

With those he so dearly loved.

As He saw their tears flow freely

For their brother dearly loved.

‘Jesus wept’ all those years ago

At the grave of His dear friend,

And groaned at all their sorrow 

For the one they thought was dead.

‘Jesus wept’ even though He knew

Just how He would work it all

Together for their good, ‘tis true,

In their life and in their soul.

‘Jesus wept’, just two little words

That tell us He understands.

He knows the pain and grief we feel

Travelling this sin sick land.

‘Jesus wept’ as He does today

With those He so dearly loves 

As our tears flow, He feels our pain

Up there, in heaven above.

Compassion fills His heart right now

As He sees each aching heart,

And says “Dear soul, I know just how,

I’ll work this all for your good.”

So lean on Him who weeps with you,

For with His nail piercéd hands, 

He will gently carry you through

Safe to your Heavenly Home.
