This Weeping World

Within God's Garden of Eden, Two human bodies lay, God's forbidden fruit now eaten, The two forgot to pray... Now in their headstrong sin they smiled, Their guilt not far away... The sin that dwells in every child Awaits God's Judgment Day... From that day on, the Earth would weep, Her mists now formed as rain, As if a vigil she must keep, To wipe away each stain... To wash away the stench of sin, Each sorrow, strife and strain, She fights a battle she can't win, A victory she can't gain... When Winter came, the snow and ice Released their white motif, No more upon God's Paradise But on God's world of grief, For Man had sinned and sons had sinned And thus came no relief And that was why the Devil grinned At so much disbelief... This weeping world was full of greed And hatred, lust and war And through Man's sins, each one would bleed, Now rotten to the core... Still awaiting God's Redeemer, The world would yet outpour All the teardrops of a dreamer, With hope God would restore... Not yet, not yet, it seemed to be And then the Christ was born, The crowned King of Eternity, A babe, so weak, forlorn... The world was witness to His prayers, The crowds so full or scorn, The Lamb of God with love so scarce When flesh from back was torn... This weeping world became His tomb When He was laid to rest... The world with friends shared awful gloom At losing One so blessed... Then came the day, Christ rose again, Forgiveness now expressed, The Lamb of God died for all men, By faith, He'd passed each test... That's when this weeping world was glad, Now weeping joyful tears, No longer hopeless, feeling sad Despite Man's sinful years... The world had hope, God's righteousness, The promised end of fears, That Christ would bring new happiness Each time when Christmas nears... In time, the Lord must come again, With healing in His wings, That's why we're waiting until then, For mercy Jesus brings... For righteousness that's everywhere, Like love as each heart sings... This weeping world anoints each prayer Blessed by the King of Kings! Denis Martindale, copyright, February 2012.
