A Friend Forever

Christ will forsake me never; He is indeed my friend forever, He had offered His life, for me, so that I could live eternally, And He had approached me first, even as I was at my worst, God came into my life that day; and Christ moved in to stay. It began the day I read His Word, about things I never heard, The more of His Word I read, the more I believed all He said, About God’s Son and Who He is, and how by Faith I am His, A child of God’s Own Family; to be with Him through eternity. He is a Friend, unlike any other, Lord and God, yet a Brother, The One, who for me, had died, walks daily, right by my side, As God said He’d never leave, from the moment I did believe, And He’s with me every day, helping me on life’s Narrow Way. Christ put me on this path, when for me, He took God’s Wrath, When with God, I was at enmity; He put God at peace with me; Removing all my fear and dread, He fills me with hope instead, While on a path towards Eternity, which began back at Calvary. On this earth, I never walk alone, since I am one of God’s Own, While upon that path to Paradise, with my Savior, Jesus Christ, And as I leave this world of sin, my life with God will just begin, In Heaven forever I will spend, with my Savior, Lord and Friend.
