My Friend Jesus


May 24, 2006

                    Today I ran into an old friend

                        I'd not seen for quite some time.

                    He asked me how I was...

                        and I said fine.

                    It was the answer He expected

                        and the one I always gave.

                    He wouldn't want to listen -

                        to all that happened just today.

 

                      But my friend Jesus, Jesus, Jesus             

                        was waiting just to hear.

  

So we laughed at silly things I'd done

                         throughout the many years.

                     I shared with him the laughter -

                         never mentioning the tears.

                     We talked for many hours.

                         He listened all the while.

                     Somehow I felt that He could see

                         the pain behind my smile.

 

                     And my friend Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

                         was waiting just to help.

 

                     I'd grown so good at hiding

                         all the problems in my life.

                     And, yet, I knew He sensed in me

                         the underlying strife.

                     He knew the very depth of me -

                         all the tears I'd kept inside.

                     then He took me in His arms,

                         and we cried.

          

                     And my friend Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

                         He wanted me to heal.

 

                     So, He wrapped me in His arms,

                         and we both cried
