DID CHRIST O’ER SINNERS WEEP?- Doc Watson 1990
Did Christ o'er sinners weep,
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let floods of penitential grief
Spring forth from every eye.
The Son of God in tears
Angels with wonder see
Be thou astonished, O my soul
He shed those tears for thee.
He wept that we might weep;
Each sin demands a tear:
In heaven alone, no sin is found,
And there's no weeping there.
Did Christ o'er sinners weep,
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let floods of penitential grief
Spring forth from every eye.
