Jesus wept (Villanelle) by amanda_dcosta
The love between true friends is hard to miss
The pain of grief they feel is evident
As Jesus wept for his friend Lazarus.
He heard his pal was seriously ill
And waited, as it was His Fatherâs will
The love between true friends is hard to miss.
The sisters Martha and Mary were sad
Why he was late, they could not understand
As Jesus wept for his friend Lazarus.
âO Lord, if You were here he would have livedâ
With sorrow in her heart Martha chided
The love between true friends is hard to miss.
âI am the resurrection and the life
Believe in Me; My friend will be aliveâ,
said Jesus, as He wept for Lazarus.
He ordered Lazarus out from the grave
And glorifying His Father, life he gave.
The love between true friends is hard to miss
As Jesus wept for his friend Lazarus.
