God is friendly (Vol 1 No 53)
God is friendly (Vol 1 No 53)
Jesus Christ, we know His story,
All disciples should attend
To His message, to His challenge,
Calling us to be a friend.
When our life is stress and sorrow,
When our hope seems at an end,
Strength and purpose can renew us,
If we know we have a friend.
Joys of life enhance its beauty,
Gentleness and virtues blend,
Happiness is so much deeper,
With the closeness of a friend.
We are called to love and service;
On each other we depend;
And our Lord has shown us clearly
What it means to be a friend.
God, in Christ, unveils the mystery,
Difficult to comprehend -
Love, it streams with no restrictions;
“Yes”, God says, “I call you friend”.
