When Friends Are No More

When Friends Are No More

When friends are no more,

And life abounds in loneliness all around.

When today seems as incomplete as yesterday

And the need for tomorrow has faded from memories view.

When hope has been lost and buried within the dust of time,

And the purpose of life has no meaning or significance anymore.

Remember, that God placed the spirit of life within and that it lives there today.

See the Light of Love above, Christ, and the purpose of Calvary's Cross.

See the Lord nailed upon,

View His shed blood as it flows to cover the sins of all,

And slowly removes all life from within Him, given freely by Him, to give eternal life in Him.

Feel the touch of love, the price He paid, to remove the sins of all,

Forever, forgiven and forgotten,

As He gasps for and takes that last breath to bring eternal life,

To be with Him in Heaven, to all that believe and follow Him.

Reach out to Him on knees of humbleness either to receive or renew again life within Him.

In belief, allowing His faith in you, that day at Calvary, to reach out in faith to Him,

And build the hopes of yesterday anew again in Him for tomorrow's day.

Wrap every thought and word within,

Before being expressed,

With the love that comes from Him,

And focus the life that lives within on Him today and everyday.

Build life anew in Him and allow it to grow bright and clean in the Word each day.

Allowing the Holy Spirit within to guide your way,

And the Light of Love, Christ to shine and flow from within.

Reaching out to encourage another in Him and remove their deep despair within,

And by this bring them to view the Cross of Calvary.

View and remember the purpose of the Cross of Calvary.

Build all life in Him and remove the loneliness that lives within to live complete in Him.

Lord, You in me, brings life anew for me today,

I in You, brings life eternal for me tomorrow,
