“Weep not, weep not for me*
Daughters of Israel’s womb;
Weep for yourselves”, said Christ
“Not for my cross or tomb”.
God weeps with all the poor,
God wears the prisoners’ chains;
God suffers in our wars,
God shares the people’s pains.
Each broken heart displays
God’s loving tear-drenched face.
Come weep and work with God, **
Come live God’s suff’ring grace.
* Luke 23:28 & 31
**Colossians 1:24
