Jesus Wept

(Hank Snow - Blanche Snow)



All alone in this cruel world of sin

I have fought for Jesus but in vain

In my fight o'er dear land of God

They condemned him and tried to erase his name.



They shout in mockery and sneer the son of God

As they smoked him and nailed him to a tree

A little bird circled round his crown of thorns

To dry the tears that he shed for you and me.



(Jesus wept and the tears that he shed

Left the stains of sorrow on my heart

For our sins trickin' world that we'll regret

We'll pay the price 'cause Jesus wept.)

But he still weeps and the tears that he sheds

Leave their stains of sorrow on my heart

For our sins trickin' world that we'll regret

We'll pay the price 'cause Jesus wept.



We'll pay the price 'cause Jesus wept...
