And Jesus Wept

I prayed to my Father today
I asked him to forgive...
thats all I could say
A lump formed in my throat
and the words kept from coming
Oh how I wanted to turn
and to take off running
But then I remembered
what He has done for me
He laid down his life
just to set me free
I was ashamed and started to cry
He loved me so much, He even died

The thunder came, it started to rain
And Jesus Wept
I know why the tears flow from His eyes
I know why He continues to cry

He looks at me so selfish and cold
still holds out His arms and wants to enfold
He knows why I am afraid and so weak
lost in my sorrow, the words so hard to speak
But I too must forgive and learn how to smile
forgive all those hurts once had as a child
Dear Lord I am trying, and I try everyday
please help me my Father, give me the words to say
"I forgive you these things you have done to me
for if I leave this inside I will cease to be"
I must face to my ghosts and now begin to heal
if I don't do it now I will no longer feel

The thunder came, it started to rain
And Jesus Wept
I know why the tears flow from His eyes
I know why He continues to cry

Has human life gotten so out of hand
that someone can do these things to their fellow man
They take someone so small so meek
a young child so innocent too afraid and too weak
They abuse and they threaten
they confuse and they shame
Has life got no meaning
that someone can hurt and so mame
Not just one time these things have they done
but over and over they abused and had fun
I cry not only for this child
but for all the lost souls who are hurt and defiled

The thunder came, it started to rain
And Jesus wept
I know why the tears flow from His eyes
I know why He continues to cry
