DID YOU EVER CRY, JESUS?
By DONNA SWANSON

Did you ever cry, Jesus?
did the world ever pile up on you
’til you wanted to quit?

Did you ever cry, Jesus?
Did you ever get so tired of humanity
you wished you’d never come?

Did life ever throw you too much hate?
Were there more lies and apathy
than could be borne silently?

Did your back ever ache, Jesus?
Did you sometimes fret at family obligations
and long to be about your Father’s business?

Did the blind eyes, the twisted bodies,
The warped minds and maimed souls get to you?
Were you ever just plain mad?

Were you ever lonely, Jesus?
When your friends misunderstood and walked out on you,
did you ever cry, Jesus?

I think you must have,
for you know me so well. So well!
I think you must have cried a little.
