Jesus wept, and still He weeps for thee

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Jesus wept, and still He weeps for thee Compassion’s grip holds fast for you and me He knows the torment of sin-sick souls Heals with redemption’s fiery, purifying coals [Chorus] When tormented cries pierce the dark night’s veil Does He care? Will He hear when we wail? Let the broken, the crushed, the weary know this He’s closer than breath—He’ll never miss [Verse 2] How do we taste His risen power’s flame In the grip of a tortured, aching frame? Cry out loud, let salty tears fall slow He keeps every drop in His mercy’s jar below [Chorus] When tormented cries pierce the dark night’s veil Does He care? Will He hear when we wail? Let the broken, the crushed, the weary know this He’s closer than breath—He’ll never miss [Verse 3] Rejoice in your sufferings, whatever their scope They forge perseverance, character, hope God pours His unending love through your veins The Holy Spirit dwells—you’re forever set apart, unchained [Bridge] Mary and Martha stared down death’s dark abyss Grief tangled their hearts in a suffocating mist Lost in the mire of sorrow and strife Behold—He is the Resurrection, the very breath of life [Chorus] When tormented cries pierce the dark night’s veil Does He care? Will He hear when we wail? Let the broken, the crushed, the weary know this He’s closer than breath—He’ll never miss [Outro] Jesus wept, and still He weeps for thee Compassion’s grip holds fast for you and me He knows the torment of sin-sick souls Heals with redemption’s fiery, purifying coals
