Do You Think the Angels Cried?


Do you think the Earth stood still
            when they took Him up that hill?
Do you think the birds grew silent
            when they treated Him so violent?
Do you think God looked away
            when they nailed our Lord that day?
Do you think grief swept the lands
            when they nailed His feet and hands?
Do you think it hushed the crowd
            when our Savior cried out loud?
Do you think our Father wept
            when His Son's pain o'er Him swept?
Do you think clouds yearned to burst
            when Jesus called out His thirst?
Do you think the men felt small
            when Jesus forgave them all?
Do you think the men looked twice
            when He spoke of Paradise?
Do you think He thought of you
            when He looked up to Heaven, too?
Do you think Mary cried so
            when He hung His head so low?
Do you think it stilled the Host
            when Jesus gave up the ghost?
Do you think the angels cried
            when our Saviour Jesus died?
Do you think He died for you?
            I know He did. I know it's true.

And it was the third hour,
            and they crucified Him.    

Mark15:25
