Michael P. Johnson - MY FRIEND JESUS

2014-10-29 7 Dailymotion

I sought the world to gain my share <br />I gave of death no thought <br />Of man nor beast I gave no care <br />Until The True Report <br /> <br />The word of God till then unknown <br />I’d failed to comprehend <br />But then I saw the golden throne <br />On which sits my true Friend <br /> <br />His loving eyes so full of flame <br />His body all aglow <br />I felt so strange so full of shame <br />Until He said “I know” <br /> <br />My Friend is Christ God’s one true Son <br />The Lamb who died for me <br />He’d fought the fight till all was won <br />Till life was mine for free <br /> <br />My life had been with fear and dread <br />Walking the devil’s path <br />Until my Friend and Saviour said <br />I’ve saved you from the wrath <br /> <br />I’d suffered much, was down and out <br />Death’s curse and I were one <br />The devil had me chained to doubt <br />And to his call I’d run <br /> <br />But Jesus came and broke the chain <br />My Friend my Lord and King <br />He gave me hope to live again <br />And love His praise to sing <br /> <br />For Him I live until I die <br />Until I rise once more <br />Until my Friend enthroned on high <br />Lays open Heaven’s Door<br /><br />Michael P.
