Don’t Forget About Your Friend

While you’re out shopping for gifts for friends and family

Don’t forget about your friend that’s closer than a brother

The friend that’s been there when there was no other

The friend that was around when you couldn’t find your mother

The friend that has always given you good advice

The friend that sticks by you day and night

The friend that’s always been there to calm your fears

The friend that always wipe away your tears

The friend that has been there when there was no father

The friend that has always been around when others didn’t want to be bother

The friend that has been there when you wanted to grab your kids by the collar

The friend that has been there when you felt a need to holler

The friend that has always protected you during the best times of your life

The friend that has hung around when others thought you were a strange sight

The friend that stood by you when your spouse wasn’t acting right

The friend that has always protected you when you played

The friend that has always encouraged you not to stray

The friend that has always been there when you needed to pray

Now that you’re thinking about your friend

What do you have to say

How about giving up that sin

And making a gift of committing your life

While you still have some might

To do what is right

And discover the peace

That you’ll find within

That comes from sins that have been amended

Jesus is that friend

That has promised to stick with you

Even beyond the end

Isn’t this his birthday

That the world’s supposed to be celebrating

Then why neglect giving him his gift

After all he sacrifice his life

That you might have a right

To eternal life

All he wants is a committed life

So you don’t miss out on the benefits

Of his paid price

His shed blood

In his love

He took the pain

That was all part of the cost

All because he didn’t want your soul lost

Don’t forget about your friend
