Friendship

I have no friends that I can say, are there for me each passing day
Who care what I am going through, and come to see what they can do.
Someone who knows about my goals, and fills the vision of my soul
who donot feel they're wasting time, to commune with me and mine.

Am I so different from the rest? Does no one think that I'm the best?
Does no one think that I'm a friend, who'll stick with them until the end?
Is there someway I need to be, that makes a more attractive me?
Did I offend someone, someway, and carelessly go on my way?

I turn again toward The Book, I better take another look
At what the Bible has to say, how I should live each passing day.
Love your neighbor as yourself, and donot put him on the shelf
And think you'll do another day, what God has said to do today.

Are you lonely? Do you hurt? Do you realize your worth?
Do you feel out of touch with friends? Are you too proud to make amends?
Do you strife each day to see, who you can pretend to be?
People see right through the show, you're not someone they want to know.

Love and value come from God, it does not matter where they're sought
A human friend can never be, what only God intends to be
God is my friend and I am His, there's no one else, I must confess
Who comes to me when I am sad, and always, always makes me glad!
