John 11:35
To know the mind of Jesus Christ
we start within His Heart.
He paid upon the cross the price,
relationship to start.
Is Jesus known for weeping sore
throughout His earthly days?
It seems that joy and laughter’s more
than raining eye displays.
Is He seen stern with justice face?
His arms are ever broad.
His heart is full of loving grace.
He’s gentle to the flawed.
He spoke with tenderness and love
to lives so marred by sin.
He called them to a life above
relationship to win.
He laughed, no doubt, with dearest friends.
He asked them for some fish.
He spent His life their hearts to tend,
and gave them hope o’er wish.
But when the Bible says, “He wept,”
the words are very few.
No shorter verse was ever kept
to mention weeping’s due.
For weeping’s not the normal part
of who this Jesus is.
There’s joy and laughter in His Heart.
Eternity is His.
I wonder if your thoughts could go
to Heaven’s loving shore.
Would tears be there? Would you sorrows know?
Would sadness bar the door?
I wonder if you’d see such joy,
not oft known on earthly ground.
Would laughter’s tongue we oft employ?
Would smiles so oft be found?
That language in the heights above
is filled with wondrous good
makes us to know the depths of Love
The Savior dove, withstood.
This sadness is the shortest verse
giving hope to the longing heart.
In grace the Lord is not averse
to causing laughter’s start.
