A Better Friend I Can Never Find

A better friend I can never find

One so loving, caring and kind

Even though I let Him down

And cause His face to have a frown

He still loves me in spite of all that

And on my back He gives a pat

And says, "It's ok son, I still love you"

Most people know Him as a carpenter who was a jew

What makes Him different from others was the mission that He had

To please the Father in heaven, to make Him glad

By sacrificing Himself, so that we could be free

The second person of the Holy Trinity

Stripped of His glory to become like one of us

The wonderful counselor, His name is Jesus

He didn't care about the pain that He had to endure

Because His love for us was very pure

A crown of thorns was placed upon His head

He took our place on the cross and died instead

So that we could be free from the wages of sin

All we have to do is believe in Him

Believe that He died for our sins and rose again

Then we can all become born again

And spend our eternity with Him

In a place that is far from grim

Thanks for the poem from the heart. I don't think if you let him down it would cause Him to frown, but cause you to frown. You are forgiven in Christ. Amazing grace is a sweet sound.
