I wept and then I wept no more

I wept and wept and wept some more

for things that were not as before,

for people hurting in my wake

whom life would seem to overtake.

I wept and then I prayed again

for things that were both now and then,

for people whom I got to know,

whose memories I took in tow.

I prayed and then I wept no more,

I saw the blood-soaked cloth You wore,

You took the pain and hurt Yourself,

restored to us, our peace and health.

I prayed and saw Your Spirit rise

above the human strife and lies,

I saw You take Your holy place

among the fallen human race.
