MY FRIEND

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
