He did not weep
When He struggled alone,
Companions asleep, near the throw of a stone.
He did not weep
When betrayed and denied,
Tho the betrayer had walked by His side.
He did not weep
When Barabbas went free,
Tho he was condemned to die on a tree.
He did not weep
'Neath the weight of the Cross,
E'en tho He stumbled, all seemed at loss.
He did not weep
When they spat in His face,
Or robed as a King, to bear our disgrace
He did not weep
When His side had been riven,
Beseeching the Father, that all be forgiven.
Why did He weep
When Lazarus just slept?
Unfathomed Love - then Jesus wept.
