I Have a Friend
I have a Friend
O, don't I know the terrible feeling
Of wounds that is just never healing
Of disappointment in a friend
To whom i'd give instead of lend.
My trust in him is now at end
My hand to him I can't extend
As through the smile and betrayal kiss
I could clearly hear the serpents hiss
How on earth could it ever be
That his true motives, I could not see
My faith in him forever hurt
False pretenses, heap of dirt
There's just one Friend that will ever be
One who never turns His back on me
Unconditionally, his camaraderie
At crucial time, gave His life for me.
