My Friend
My friend, I stand in judgment now,
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
On earth I walked with you by day,
And never did you point the way.
You knew the Lord in truth and glory
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim;
You could have led me safe to Him.
Though we lived together here on earth
You never told me of the second birth.
And now I stand this day condemned
Because you failed to mention Him.
You taught me many things, that's true;
I called you 'friend', and trusted you.
But I learn now that it's too late
And you could have kept me from this fate.
We walked by day, and talked by night
And yet you showed me not the light.
You let me live, and love, and die;
You knew I'd never live on high.
Yes, I called you 'friend' in life
And trusted you through joy and strife.
And yet, on coming to this dreadful end
I cannot, now, call you 'My Friend'
