Did I Forget?
by louis gander

If heart is hard, my eyes are dry.
Have I forgotten how to cry?
Can I still weep? Do I know how?
Where are my tears? Where are they now?

Did I forget the virgin birth,
that Jesus healed, of Jesus' worth?
Did I forget when Jesus prayed,
before arrest, was then betrayed?

Did I forget that they abused,
beat, mocked and whipped - and then accused?
Did I forget the gross details,
the crown of thorns, the piercing nails?

Did I forget He paid the price?
Did I forget His sacrifice?
Did I forget down through the years -
of Jesus' blood, of Jesus' tears?

Did I forget while knowing this -
I lived a life of ease and bliss
...my roof above, my car, my shoes,
that I have food, the clothes I choose?

If heart is hard, my eyes are dry.
Have I forgotten how to cry?
Can I still weep? Do I know how?
Where are my tears? Where are they now?
