And when he drew near and saw the city he wept over it, saying, "Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace!
John 11:32-36
Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled; and he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"
John 7:37-38
On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, "If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"
Is He with us in the middle of this insanity?
Does He still cry for all of humanity?
Will we ever realize?
That our whole future lies,
In the love God's given you and me.
Yes God cries.
Yes He feels.
Yes God hurts.
Yes He's real.
For He lives in every tear shed for our society.
In the steps we take toward unity.
All our care comes from inside,
Where His Spirit abides.
In the love God's given you and me.
Our God cries.
Our God feels.
Our God cares.
Our God heals.
Our hearts are His, caring for all the world so faithfully.
Our hands are His, reaching out with charity.
His Spirit is very real.
And His love makes us feel.
He's alive for all, through you and me.
