Jesus Wept is an 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 #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and crossed over to alternative radio, resulting in the song peaking at #39 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Noteworthy samples from this album include: "4 O'Clock in the Morning" by The Hassles in "My Own Personal Gravity", "Pacific" by 808 State in "I'll be Waiting for You", "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow" by Joni Mitchell in "Forever Damaged (The 96th)", "Nite and Day" by Al B. 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". The track also contains a musical reference to The Beatles song, "Flying".
