Template:Music ratings Jesus Wept is the third album by American hip hop group P.M. Dawn. It was released in October 1995 via Gee Street Records, and was unable to attain the success of the group's first two albums, Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience and The Bliss Album...? (Vibrations of Love and Anger and the Ponderance of Life and Existence).
The album's highest charting single was "Downtown Venus", which contained a sample of Deep Purple's "Hush". The single reached number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and crossed over to alternative radio, resulting in the song peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1]

Sure! in "Sometimes I Miss You So Much" and "Mama Told Me Not to Come" by Three Dog Night in "Fantasia's Confidential Ghetto: 1999/Once in a Lifetime/Coconut".

Track listing
Songwriting credit is given to Attrell Cordes on each song along with whoever is being sampled with the exception of "Silence...Recorded at the Gravesite of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.", which is, as the title suggests, 21 seconds of silence. It received no song writing credit.
