And Jesus Wept

It had been several years since Margaret attended a sacrament meeting; and as she walked into the chapel and quickly found a seat, she felt like a stranger. She had let a Word of Widsom problem keep her away all that time. How often the bishop had and counseled with her to "put the horse before the cart". He told her that the more often she attended church and the more she prayed, the easier it would become for her to conquer her hurtful habit. Though nearly all the ward members were now new to her, Margaret gradually began to feel as though she had come home after a long absence. The main speaker talked of willingness to sacrifice for the gospel, and Margaret determined that this was her answer. Too soon the closing proayer was said and she edged her way out with the crowd. She caught bits of conversations around her, so longing to be part of them. Then suddenly a whispered voice behind her seemed to scream above all the others and pierce the very depths of her soul: "Well, did you smell the cigarettes? I could barely keep my mind on the talk. I'll have to be more careful where I sit."

Jesus wept upon His world
Such sadness in His Heart
Tears that fall upon His Earth
With Love His Mission starts

Holding us so very close
The pain so real is there
Keeping us within His Arms
His Vision very clear

Knows that we are looking up
His tears are not in vain
Cleansing us of all the grief
His Gentleness life's soft rain

Weeping for His Children
Not only on this Land
All across His Universe
He reaches with His Hand

Holding us within His Heart
Our heads upon His chest
Feel the beauty of this Love
Our gentle spirits blest

Reach out in the Universe
Form a mighty chain
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Now with you through the pain.

DID YOU KNOW...
only fonts that are EMBEDDED right in the GRAPHIC will be
seen as they are UNLESS the VIEWER also has that font. In other words, this font will be viewed correctly by everyone as it is embedded in the graphics....BUT, if you try to use it in the WRITTEN TEXT part of your page, it will only be viewed by those who also have the font on their computer.....so, I always use a font that is common to almost all systems for my text, such as the font you are reading now...Verdana, or Arial, etc. People are not going to stop and download a font to view your page.

DO NOT LINK DIRECTLY TO THESE GRAPHIC PIECES
This is called bandwidth stealing. It means that you are using the space that Moon And Back Graphics pays for. Download the graphics to your hard drive....build the page from there. NEVER link directly to a graphic.
