Do You Ever Cry Any More Jesus?

Jesus wept over Jerusalem. Does he weep at the things he sees today?

Do you ever cry anymore, Jesus?
You wept over Jerusalem.
Do you cry when you see us today?
We who call ourselves after your name
And think you only hear us pray?
We aren’t very loving in the things that we say.
Judging others for what they do --
then condemn them publicly
and claim it’s for you.
Do you ever cry anymore, Jesus?

Do you cry when you see us sift through your Word
when we spit out the gnat of your love
while we swallow the camel of deception?
We throw away someone who is different so quick
without finding out whats making them tick.
Do you ever cry anymore, Jesus?

Do you cry when we search for that one little verse
which supports what fits in our plans
Rather than finding the one
which gives us a glimpse of what you desire?
Do you ever cry anymore, Jesus?

Do those hot tears flow down your cheeks, Jesus,
when you see us use hatred and fear
to influence others to fight our fights
and finance our battles
and echo our slogans?
Do you ever cry anymore, Jesus?

You being a pastor might want to read my Kathy's trip to New Mexico.
It is about poor Navajo Indians and our church went to build a handicapped ramp for them. A mission we felt was needed. Yes, the Lord does cry over things he sees especially when we go against him. That is why we should all pray and do his will as he tells us to in answers to the prayers. He does surely love us and will keep us in his loving arms always.

Larry this is beautiful and yes I am sure He still crys for the love we share and for the pain and hurt others cause. If people would look at the Ten commandments He wrote on stone for us, they would live a much better life. Again thank you for your beautiful words that touched my heart.
