I Wish Somebody Would'Ve Told Me

DAVID Ahithophel, my dearest friend I wish you had told me That someday our friendship would end Betrayal would fold me The wise one with whom I did eat Raised his heel against me I trusted you, but you did cheat Oh, why did I not see? LORD JESUS CHRIST The Lord knew whom He had chosen Knew one would betray him Greedy Judas' heart was frozen Yet Christ did not hate him Jesus was troubled in his heart Knowing it'd end like this Each day, it would've torn Him apart Betrayed by a friend's kiss ME I'm glad somebody had told me World friendships never last Only God's love can enfold me Eternal and steadfast
