God must weep - v3

God must weep

in these days, this moment;

God must agonize

for such great loss of life.

God must weep

so much more than Jesus

so many more than one friend

sent to their untimely grave.

God must weep

for the raging pandemic

for so many lives lost,

here, all around the globe.

God must weep

for the failures, the arrogance,

for so many lives lost,

in the name of free will.

God must weep

but hope is yet coming

vaccines, immunity,

are rising on the wind.

God must weep

but better times are coming

when we can be together

when normal returns.

“I will never understand American Christianity’s

response to the pandemic. I’m so grieved by

reckless choices that lead to real life consequences

for the whole community. And I wonder in the

Church’s failure in this also grieves the heart of God.”

if "#Jesus wept." for the death of one friend,

Lazarus, how much more so must #God weep for this

loss of life from the pandemic.

John 11:35

“Jesus wept.”
