When Warriors Weep III

There he sat broken and blind
The water streamed down is aching body
Tears mixed with the gentle stroke of the shower
There sat the wounded warrior and wept

Wept like there would be no tomorrow
Worlds faded slowly in front of his eyes
Within this moment he was lost and as he
Wept a song rose in his heart

Heart so confused, so deeply wounded
Heaven seemed far and yet so near
"Help" he cried but no one answered
Heart in dismay for no one to see

See the sky, even the sun seems to hide
Smile, how could he smile when
Sorrows towering so high over his head
See the heart and hear his cries

Cries so silent, so desperate
Can this heart be healed
Child, why are you so hurt
Cries no one can bear

Bear with me, my friends
Because the valley seems so dark
Borrow a sword and fight
Bear it bravely, for I need You

You I have loved so deeply
You never saw that I was week
Yet there remains no strength in me
You I need or all else is failing

Failing to see, failing to hear
Falling but no longer rising
Friends, where are you
Failing here will mean the end

End of all hopes, end of all dreams
Eat drink and be merry
Erring to see the light
End here or end there

There he sat broken and blind
The water streamed down is aching body
Tears mixed with the gentle stroke of the shower
There sat the wounded warrior and wept

And a gentle whisper says:
"I have heard, I have seen, I will speak, I will act,
but more than that I feel what you feel, my son!"

But "how?" he cried

"My son, you need to die in every way."

"It is so hard."

"My son, is that a price you are willing to pay?"

And the weeping warrior sang the words of a friend:
"And even if that means that I need to die in every way,
I wanna tell you, Jesus, that this is a price I am willing to pay."
