When You Are Number One

When you are number one
Many would like to be with you
When you are number two
People still see you
When you are number three
People start to free themselves from you
When you are number four
Friends start closing their doors
When you are number five
People will not help you strive
However, this was good because when Christ saw me
He told me that when you are number five
I will make you strive
When you are number four
I will let no one shut the door
When you are number three
I will teach you the beauty of bowing your knee
When you are number two
I will be right next to you and
When you are number one
Remember, it was God, the Father
Who gave His only begotten Son!
