Jesus, Did You Cry?

               +++

In the garden, as you prayed.....
As your clothes were stripped away.....
When the mob yelled "Crucify!".....
Inside, did you cry?
Did part of you die?

As you stumbled on the road
Underneath the heavy load.....
When you met your mother's eyes.....
Inside, did you cry?
Did part of you die?

When they nailed you on the cross,
Did you feel alone and lost?
As you asked your Father "Why?".....
Inside, did you cry?
Did part of you die?

As the sin of all mankind
Crushed your spirit and your mind.....
Rejecting you, we were so blind.....
Inside, did you cry?.....
That day when you died?

                                            + + +  

"But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace
was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed."
