JESUS WEPT

Jesus Wept

As He looked down from the universe
Into flames of evil’s terror
Hearing voices terrified and screaming
Oh God! Are you even there?

Jesus Wept

Seeing multitudes searching for answers
Crying, “How will we survive this day?”
He reached out in their time of need
And led them to their knees to pray.

And Jesus Wept

As He hung His head in disbelief
Reaching down with his merciful hand,
Giving courage and supernatural strength
To each unselfish Fireman.

Jesus Wept

While driven by love, hope and faith
As they suffered the nightmare at hand;
God led heroes through the heat of hell’s fury
As the whole world was joining hands.

And Jesus Wept

As He watched workers flee to their aid
With their boots on and hearts hanging low
With not even a thought of race, color or creed
Helping and holding each other to console

Jesus Wept

Overwhelmed by many sacrificing their life
So from destruction others could flee;
As He wept, Jesus took them to Heaven above
Tenderly laying them to rest at God’s feet.
