A FRIEND FOR THE LONELY
Men are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges;I built bridges; every Dick and Harry came in and made me crowdy;Yet, I found no Friend in them: My head became rowdy and almost knocked down; My heart pants and longs for a Friend, but got none.I needed someone who could hold my hands;When my own strength fails,Surrounded by so many of them, but none fits into my Heart.What a life! Then, I realized that two is a company, But, three is a crowd, so I said; That which I dreaded most overtook me ;Then, I became a wreck when I realized I had no Friend; All around me were mere spectators,Watching and waiting for what would become of me;
What a Friend we have in Jesus! I taught my heart to look up to Jesus;Then, I found sweetest relief.We are often troubled, but not crushed; Sometimes in doubt, but never in despair;Though surrounded by enemies,But was never without a Friend;Though badly hurt at times, But we were never destroyed.
