Jesus Wept

[Verse 1]
I found my masterpiece
In a discount bin
I pound against the wall
Of my aging skin
Crying “Let me out”
Let me out

[Verse 2]
Who’ll untie the ropes
That restrain my wings
And help me understand
When death still stings?
I’m crying, “Let me out”
You’re saying, “No, not yet”
Before he danced
Jesus wept

[Verse 3]
I’m living in the ache
Of missing you
Sealed in this Lazarus grave
With nothing else to do
But cry “Let me out”
Let me out

[Verse 4]
Another bad guy wins
More good friends die
They mounted up like eagles
Now they’re dropping like flies
I cry “Let me out”
You’re saying “No, not yet”
Before he danced
Jesus wept

[Bridge]
Before the latter rain
Jesus wept
Before the healing came
Jesus wept
Before he paid in full every debt
Jesus wept

[Verse 5]
There’s not a holy man
Who doesn’t know grief well
Or think the road to heaven
Doesn’t pass through hell
They’ve cried, “Let me out”
They’ve heard, “No, not yet”
They know before he danced
Jesus wept

[Outro]
(Before the latter rain)
(Before the healing came)
Jesus wept
(Before the latter rain)
(Before the healing came)
Jesus wept
(Before the latter rain)
(Before the healing came)
Jesus wept
(Before the latter rain)
(Before the healing came)
He cried, “It is finished now"
(Before the latter rain)
(Before the healing came)
He cried, “It is finished now"
(Before the latter rain)
