Why Should We Weep?

Why should we weep,
When fortune goes astray?
Plug your nose, hold your breath,
And await another day.

And why should we weep,
When the sun refuses to shine?
Tip your head and feel the rain,
It's sweeter than rose wine.

And why should we weep,
When life fills us with doubt?
Look ever to the Word,
To shelter, never flout.

And why should we weep,
When our love ones lay to rest?
Their spirits rise and fly away,
On Earth no longer guest.

And why should we weep,
when our bodies come to fail?
We're all one day to meet our Lord
And sip then from his grail.
