SELF DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY SIN

WEEP NOT FOR ME

by

J. A. Fullerton

 

When Our Blessed Lord on the way to Calvary did carry His cross

Some people spat and jeered and stones did toss

And some did weep and shed a tear

They were so sad to see someone suffer whom they held so dear.

 

But Our Blessed Lord knew that all His trials would be conquered by love

And He would rise from the dead and ascend to His Father above

He was more concerned about those He was leaving behind

For to the sufferings caused by sin they were blind.

 

So as He passed by on His way to do His Father's will

That written in the scriptures which He had to fulfill

"Weep not for Me, but for yourselves and your children" He did say

For He knew they would fall victims to sin and decay.

 

But all is not lost because Our Blessed Lord has left a very special gift

The sacrament of penance to bring us back when we drift

For remember Our Lord is the Good Shepherd with a love untold

And welcomes each lost sheep back into His fold.
