Why do you Weep?

"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? .... Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord" (John 20:15,20).

Why is it that you weep, mournful Mary, in the gloom?
Whom is it that you seek, as you tarry at the tomb?
Where is it you suppose, that they took your Lord away?
What joy! Your Savior rose, and He meets with you today!

Oh what a transformation, as Jesus speaks your name!
What joy and exultation, replaces gloom and shame!
So give to us that vision, as we come to You, dear Lord;
And give us hearts to listen, that our joy may be restored.
