"JESUS WEEPS!"
© 1997 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Bk. #2}
Jesus weeps for the lost & dying *
& those drawn away by 'pride', *
He 'grieved' also for Judas *
who walked right by His Side.
He wept along with Mary *
as her brother lay in his tomb,
& He weeps for the 'aborted babies'
torn from their Mother's womb.
Is He 'weeping' ~
weeping over you?
Tell me, my dear Children
has Jesus saved you through & through?
He wept in the Garden *
"Not My Will but Thine",
Great drops of Blood came falling *
as 'His own Will' He did resign!
Yes, He was greatly tempted
to give up & run away,
But, oh how much He loved us
so He decided to stay.
His 'strength' lay in The Spirit
& NOT in 'flesh' so weak,
He 'yielded' to His Father
oh, so 'humbly' & very 'meek'.
Meekness is NEVER weakness
it's 'Power under control, *
Controlled by The Holy Spirit
Jesus had reached His goal. *
The goal He'd set ~
right at the beginning of time, *
Dying for ALL the world
'lost', 'undone', mankind!
