Jesus Wept Lyrics

(John 11, Ecclesiastes 3:4)

Mary and Martha sent word to the Lord

(Oh)

"Come, for the one whom you love's fallen ill."

(Oh)

But before the resurrection

And before the joy ahead

Jesus knew he went to raise him

But before this Jesus wept

"Lord, if you'd been here he would not have died."

(Oh)

"But what you ask, I know, God will reply.

(Oh)

But before the resurrection

And before the joy ahead

Jesus knew he went to raise him

Yet before this Jesus wept.

We too are living in hope on this day

(Oh)

That Jesus will raise all who've passed away.

(Oh)

But the hope which guards the future doesn't cancel out the now

So in empathy and sorrow, like our Lord, we too weep now

For before the resurrection

And beside the joy we keep

We in empathy and sorrow

Like our Lord, we too, may weep

So in empathy and sorrow

Like our Lord, we too, may weep.
