Story behind the song
I got the idea for this song while listening to Don McLean's Starry Starry Night this morning...
Lyrics
That's Not Why Jesus Cried It didn't have a thing to do With the fact his friend had died While the others stood there asking Where were you We waited here for you Sent you word about our fears Had you come when we had called We wouldn't have to shed these tears Chorus It wasn't for the friend who died That Jesus stood and cried It was for the lack of faith all around For the fact they couldn't see Their nearby victory It wasn't for the friend who died That's not why Jesus cried Bridge He won't leave love trapped in the ground It has to grow it will abound Chorus It wasn't for the friend who died That Jesus stood and cried It was for the lack of faith all around For the fact they couldn't see Their nearby victory It wasn't for the friend who died That's not why Jesus cried It's not for the one who dies That's not why Jesus cries c 2012 Wayne R Brown
