Jesus Wept Lyrics – Ralph McTell
Singer: Ralph McTell
Title: Jesus Wept
The day that Jesus arrived in Jerusalem
The adventure almost over, the night he hadn’t slept
Dreams and premonitions made him tired and emotional
And that’s why Jesus wept
He wasn’t scared of dying, he’d made that commitment
Fulfilling the old prophecy, his bargain he had kept
He was due some satisfaction, but he was deeply troubled
And that’s why Jesus wept
Was this his true destiny, or could he still make changes
Someone else’s nightmare into which he’d stepped?
Damage limitation couldn’t save the situation
And that’s why Jesus wept
In his dream he saw the crusade and all wars that would follow
Declared in his name when he thought he’d been direct
Love thy neighbour, do not kill, and turn the other cheek
And that’s why Jesus wept
And he saw the inquisition and the burning of the saints
And the conversion of the innocents he swore he would protect
And he saw them bless the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima
And that’s why Jesus wept
Though Peter would betray him, he made him the rock
On which he would build his church to sort of keep him in his debt
A man about to die is allowed some confusion
And that’s why Jesus wept
And he thought of his disciples, especially of Judas
The job that was ordained for him and the reward he’d collect
And he saw him in the tree with silver coins around him
And that’s why Jesus wept
Then he thought about the good times when he turned the tables over
Chastised the money lenders and he earned the boy’s respect
He was proud of Godly anger, but ashamed of manly temper
And that’s why Jesus wept
Rumours started flying about water into wine
Sight to the blind and that he’d even raised the dead
The biggest miracle was that anyone believed it
And that’s why Jesus wept
Then he mused on human nature, how fickle were the public
So ready to accept him, so quick now to reject
Where were the five thousand he fed with loaves and fishes?
And that’s why Jesus wept
In his dream he saw a garden with all his friends asleep
He walked away the hours until the morning crept
And he wondered would the nails hurt, would he be man enough?
And that’s why Jesus wept
Was he supposed to bear it like a man or like a God
Would tears show a weakness or a strength by their effect?
Would they be viewed as compassion or failure and self-pity?
And that’s why Jesus wept
Then he saw his houses burning on both sides of a border
Saw the guiltless suffer with the guilty and the rest
And when they called his name and he knew he couldn’t help them
That’s why Jesus wept
Then he saw two armies marching and he heard their crucifixes
Reduced to superstitious muted jangling round their necks
And he heard his name intoned as they interred their companion
And that’s why Jesus wept
Then he thought about his mother and the stories she had told him
Who’d filled his dreams with angels, put voices in his head
Then the scent of pine trees made him think of dear old Joseph
That’s why Jesus wept
That’s why Jesus wept

Jesus Wept – Terjemahan / Translation
Hari ketika Yesus tiba di Yerusalem
Petualangan hampir berakhir, malam dia belum tidur
Mimpi dan firasat membuatnya lelah dan emosional
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Dia tidak takut mati, dia membuat komitmen itu
Memenuhi ramalan lama, tawar -menawar yang dia simpan
Dia karena kepuasan, tetapi dia sangat bermasalah
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Apakah ini takdirnya yang sebenarnya, atau dia masih bisa membuat perubahan
Mimpi buruk orang lain di mana dia melangkah?
Keterbatasan kerusakan tidak bisa menyelamatkan situasi
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Dalam mimpinya dia melihat perang salib dan semua perang yang akan mengikuti
Dinyatakan dalam namanya ketika dia mengira dia langsung
Cintai sesamamu, jangan bunuh, dan putar pipi yang lain
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Dan dia melihat Inkuisisi dan pembakaran orang -orang kudus
Dan pertobatan orang -orang tak berdosa yang dia bersumpah akan dia lindungi
Dan dia melihat mereka memberkati bom yang dijatuhkan di Hiroshima
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Meskipun Peter akan mengkhianatinya, dia membuatnya menjadi batu
Di mana dia akan membangun gerejanya untuk menjaga dia tetap dalam utangnya
Seorang pria akan mati diizinkan kebingungan
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Dan dia memikirkan murid -muridnya, terutama tentang Yudas
Pekerjaan yang ditahbiskan untuknya dan hadiah yang akan dikumpulkannya
Dan dia melihatnya di pohon dengan koin perak di sekitarnya
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Lalu dia memikirkan saat -saat indah ketika dia membalik meja
Menghukum pemberi pinjaman uang dan dia mendapatkan rasa hormat anak laki -laki itu
Dia bangga dengan kemarahan yang saleh, tetapi malu dengan temperamen jantan
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Rumor mulai terbang tentang air menjadi anggur
Penglihatan ke orang buta dan bahwa dia bahkan membangkitkan orang mati
Keajaiban terbesar adalah siapa pun yang mempercayainya
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Lalu dia merenungkan sifat manusia, betapa berubah -ubahnya publik
Sangat siap untuk menerimanya, jadi cepat sekarang untuk ditolak
Di mana lima ribu yang ia makan dengan roti dan ikan?
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Dalam mimpinya dia melihat taman dengan semua temannya tertidur
Dia berjalan menjauh jam sampai pagi merayap
Dan dia bertanya -tanya apakah kuku akan sakit, apakah dia akan cukup manusia?
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Apakah dia seharusnya menanggungnya seperti pria atau seperti dewa
Apakah air mata akan menunjukkan kelemahan atau kekuatan dengan efeknya?
Apakah mereka akan dipandang sebagai belas kasih atau kegagalan dan mengasihani diri sendiri?
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Lalu dia melihat rumahnya terbakar di kedua sisi perbatasan
Melihat orang -orang bersalah menderita yang bersalah dan sisanya
Dan ketika mereka memanggil namanya dan dia tahu dia tidak bisa menahan mereka
Itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Kemudian dia melihat dua pasukan berbaris dan dia mendengar salib mereka
Direduksi menjadi jangling takhayul di sekeliling leher mereka
Dan dia mendengar namanya intoned saat mereka mengebumikan rekan mereka
Dan itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Lalu dia memikirkan ibunya dan kisah -kisah yang dia ceritakan kepadanya
Siapa yang memenuhi mimpinya dengan malaikat, menaruh suara di kepalanya
Kemudian aroma pohon pinus membuatnya berpikir tentang Joseph tua tersayang
Itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
Itulah mengapa Yesus menangis
