Natalie Kendel - 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 Jesus, we too may weep.
