Friend


My friend I stand at the judgement now
And feel that you're to blame somehow,
On earth I walked with you day by day
And never did you point the way.

You knew the Lord in truth and glory
But never did you tell the story,
My knowledge then was very dim
you could have lead me safe to him,

Though we lived together on earth
You never told me of the second birth,
and now I stand this day condemned
Because you failed to mention Him.

You told me many things tis true
I called you friend and trusted you,
But I learn now that it's too late
You could have kept me from this fate.

We walked by day and talked by night
And yet you showed me not the light,
You let me live, love and die
You knew I'd never live on high.

Yes I called you friend in life
And trusted you through joy and strife
And yet on coming to the end
I cannot now call you my friend.
