                         Gentle Jesus                               

set to music                                                  

Gentle Jesus my friend I heard someone say

Gentle Jesus she saw thee cry

For the sins of the world do grieve thee so

Gentle Jesus I understand why

The blood you shed, sinful souls to safe

From a cross fell like heavens rain

But the Children you love do not hear thy voice

Gentle Jesus and cause thee pain.

Gentle Jesus my friend I was reading to day

Asking: Jesus how can a God cry?

For the sins of the world do grieve thee so

Gentle Jesus I understand why

 For this earth you created, thy children to please

The heavens, sea, land and plain

But the children you love, do not heed thy commands

Gentle Jesus and cause thee pain.

Gentle Jesus my friend soon the time is at hand

You will come to the earth once again.

The earth shall be freed from all sorrow, all sin

Thei might in righteousness reign.

Mother earth shall no longer endure hate and pride

All men worship thee Jesus our king

 Sanctified this our world for a thousand blessed years

A new anthem each happy heart sing.
