When Jesus Wept


This Sunday is the fifth Sunday of Lent. We are going to sing a song based on an old canon, "When Jesus wept". The composer describes drops of Jesus's tear with descending dotted notes. It is very simple melody but stays in your hearts longer than any other songs. I have prayed that we can have some time to think about Jesus and His tears and suffering. He did for us not for him.
The children's choir will lift up their hearts with "Feed my lambs" for musical offering. I have learned through them a lot why Jesus loves them so much.

When Jesus wept the falling tear, in mercy flow'd beyond all bound. When Jesus groaned, a trembling fear seized all the guilty world around, around.
O come, and mourn with me awhile, and linger here beside, o come together, let us mourn; O Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
