That's a very apt phrase for us (hopefully). From Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_wept

"This verse occurs in John's narrative of the death of Lazarus, a follower of Jesus. Lazarus' sisters Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus of their brother's illness and impending death, but Jesus arrived four days after Lazarus died. Jesus, after talking to the grieving sisters and seeing Lazarus' friends weeping, was deeply troubled and moved. After asking where Lazarus had been laid, and being invited to come see, Jesus wept."

Are we Lazarus in this context?

"He went to the tomb and told the people to remove the stone covering it, prayed aloud to his Father, and ordered Lazarus to come out, resurrected."

Incidentally, having watched that Melvyn Bragg prig on BBC earlier, I suspect it's from the Tyndale translation and predates the King James Bible.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

A draw at FGR and a win over Bristol would not be a bad outcome
