Is There Any Crying in Manhood?

Lord, please teach me how to cry,
Like “Jesus Wept” for His dear friend,
In sympathy for all those standing by,
Though He knew it was not the end.

Lord, let my heart be touched by grief,
May tears of sorrow stain my face,
May I not be afraid to find relief,
Through the tears that leave their trace.

Lord, let my heart be touched by love so great,
May I not fear to feel the tears,
May I be able to anticipate,
Love that lasts throughout the years.

Lord, help my heart to tender be,
Not hardened to the world around,
So I am touched by the things I see,
And a caring soul within me found.

Is there any crying for a man?
Am I weak if tears do flow?
No, I am stronger if I can,
Let my caring sometimes show.

Lord, please teach me how to cry,
To shed my tears, with manhood kept,
Teach me how, and when, and also why,
To be like Jesus when He wept.
