My Friend is no friend
Down on my luck again, my so called friend
Took back his truck again
Although he, didn't have need of it
He has a parking lot full of them
Yet he needed the one I was driving then
I have done more for this guy, then he deserves
But, who is counting? I guess, I am, I guess?
Sometimes I believe it's just me, and all the excuses I make
For God's sake, and my soul's place in Heaven
I go way out of my way, for my friends
And yet they pretend to be, like me
And yet they aren't, but, again who is counting on me?
I guess, just me
People say, I am too nice and to forgiving
That may be true but, who am I not to be?
To be me, and to be just in this way
It is just the way I am, this way I will stay
In spite of myself and every one else
For sure enough I'll be back on my knees again praying
For all that I lost or that was giving away to me, this day
My Friends don't realize that none of it, was mine to begin with
That it is not me that they would profit from
But, from Him, that gave to me His one and only Son
His little Lamb, this Son of Man, His begotten,Son
That is who they would, profit from
Although we don't see eye to eye, He has always
Stood by me, even when I have pushed Him away
He gave to me this only begotten son, why?
He, gave Him, to me to suffer and to die
To me He, gave Him me, to bleed
To be crucified, and to be criticized
To bare My sins, He gave Him!
And then He, would still let me, back into their lives
To my Friend I bend down and cry, for forgiveness
You'd! Better believe It !
For my friend is no longer just my friend, He is my GOD
And His Son is my Life's only Savior
I say: praise be to my friend, the Lord Jesus Christ
I hope you will give him a chance to be your friend
