Friends, be friends

Mind so full
Heart so hurt
Feel the pull
Torn apart

Why have I
Been abandoned here?
Should have been strong
But crippled by tears

Friends so close
Have been so far
My tender wound
Is now a scar

How so now?
Must move ahead
Summer looms
Past final dread

The here and now
I want to be
Happy and healthy,
So take care of me.

Once, just once
Spend time with me
Without me asking,
Just be there for me

Friends, be friends
And do what they do
Be there when I need you
To your word be true

Salvation is now alive

Today's the morning to end all mournings
For on a tree Salvation died
But death had no power over Him
For Salvation is now alive

I realize much more each day
I have no power over who I was,
Am, or will be tomorrow
But I thank God He does

Snowflakes, atoms, rocks and the heavens
The God who crafted these with his hands
Reached into hist'ry to befriend
And save this wretched man
