Did the Lillies Cry
by Kelli Reisen

Album: Someday...

The earth sighs in solemn expectation
The garden weeps to know Your time has come
The stars cry out in silent adoration
To see the awesome pain in God's dear Son

The night winds gently touch Your teardrops
The olive trees bend low to hear You pray
And as You give Your will up to Your Father
I think perhaps the lilies turned Your way

When Your footsteps pass their way
For the last time
Did their tears glisten like the morning dew
As they watched You walk away
To Calvary that day
Did the lilies cry to say goodbye to You

You rise to take the cup before You
And mournfully the dove begins to cry
Willingly the grasses kneel before You
And by the pathway, lilies say goodbye

When Your footsteps pass their way
For the last time
Did their tears glisten like the morning dew
As they watched You walk away
To Calvary that day
Did the lilies cry to say goodbye to You

Oh, You made them all
With just one spoken word
Before there was a single ear to hear
And is it any wonder
They feel unspoken pain
It comes as no surprise to see their tears

When Your footsteps pass their way
For the last time
Did their tears glisten like the morning dew
As they watched You walk away
To Calvary that day
Did the lilies cry to say goodbye to You
Did the lilies cry to say goodbye to You
