LORD I lift up my friend
My words found his ears deaf
A hear hardened and confused
His truth defined by the world
Refusing the Gospels honesty
Claiming only the scriptures of ease
Accepting gladly the painless ways
Hoping to grasp just enough salvation
Rejecting the life changing lessons
As he listens to other voices whisper
Hells flames hold no sway to death
Heaven is for all to enter in the end
That’s the eternity created by man
Just where his worldly gods belong
What more then can I speak of
I’ve him told of my LORD’s love
Forgiveness of all sins committed
A bloodied Cross to pay the price
This gift of life so simple and free
He rejects this offer without malice
Lies of the deceiver too firm a grip
To him I am but a naïve fool
My GOD use this fool to your glory
It is with an with an expectant heart
Lord I lift my friend up
