Christ will forsake me never; He is indeed my friend forever, <br />He had offered His life, for me, so that I could live eternally, <br />And He had approached me first, even as I was at my worst, <br />God came into my life that day; and Christ moved in to stay. <br /> <br />It began the day I read His Word, about things I never heard, <br />The more of His Word I read, the more I believed all He said, <br />About God’s Son and Who He is, and how by Faith I am His, <br />A child of God’s Own Family; to be with Him through eternity. <br /> <br />He is a Friend, unlike any other, Lord and God, yet a Brother, <br />The One, who for me, had died, walks daily, right by my side, <br />As God said He’d never leave, from the moment I did believe, <br />And He’s with me every day, helping me on life’s Narrow Way. <br /> <br />Christ put me on this path, when for me, He took God’s Wrath, <br />When with God, I was at enmity; He put God at peace with me; <br />Removing all my fear and dread, He fills me with hope instead, <br />While on a path towards Eternity, which began back at Calvary. <br /> <br />On this earth, I never walk alone, since I am one of God’s Own, <br />While upon that path to Paradise, with my Savior, Jesus Christ, <br />And as I leave this world of sin, my life with God will just begin, <br />In Heaven forever I will spend, with my Savior, Lord and Friend. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©06/2010)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-friend-forever-3/
