Another Poem

I understand why Jesus wept

For all the sins I have kept.
The times when I did go astray.
Insisting that I alone could pay,
A heaping sum of spiritual debt.
I understand why Jesus wept.

He loved you and me up to his death.
He loved through pains of nail and thorn.
He loves us still, even those who scorn.
Tears for us left his cheeks wet--
I understand why Jesus wept.

"If only they would call upon my name."
Christ knew my grief and carried me,
So one day I would live with him in eternity.
I knocked and...to the door he came.
I understand why Jesus wept.

The happiness he feels as we enter the kingdom he rules
The spirit melts my hard heart,
And tells me the atonement is where to start.
"And now, behold my joy is full."
I understand why Jesus wept.
