Where Were You When I Needed a Friend
You weren't my friend...
When I needed one the most.
You were filled with anger.
Not the Holy Ghost
You believed what others said
about me to be true...
And now... There's a wide "gap"
between us two...
Rather than asking for forgiveness
because of what you believed..
Many rumors and gossip is what
you received.
Are you going to love me as a
Christian brother should?
Or is your heart going to remain
"as hard as wood?"
Be careful what you listen to.
As others often complain...
And especially when they
bring up my name.
Walk in the peace and love.
And a Godly affection...
So your life isn't filled with
"wordly attention."
God will give you the victory that
you need to overcome...
By the blood of the cross
and the power of his son!
May the work of the cross
be a "wake up call..."
Being an example of God's grace...
To one and all!
