A Friend of Mine

A FRIEND OF MINE

Yahshua is a friend of mine, he laid his life on the line
I never knew one to be so kind, he let me see though I was blind.

Now every day I walk this earth, I do because he took my curse
And even though I was the worst, he claimed me for his own.
Yes he claimed me for his own.

The Pharisees and all their men, they tried to make a fool of him
But all they did was in the end, allow him to expose their sin.

But with the traitor’s help they pinned, the accusation that he sinned
Throughout the trial, which was a sham, he was silent as a lamb.
Just as silent as a lamb.

The day was sunny and very warm, but then the clouds began to form
And hanging there nailed on a tree was the man who died for me.

It was hard to see his face, through all the torture and disgrace
But there he was hanging in my place for all the world to see.
All the world could see.

Now Peter, James, Matthew and John, ah they were barely hanging on
When Mary came a runnin’ in to tell them he was back again.

Then the disciples praised his name, and preached the gospel in the same
And many turned around and came, unto Yahweh’s chosen son.
They turned to Yahweh’s chosen son.

So if you think your life is sad and this old world will drive you mad
Sounds like you got what I had so do the things that made me glad.

Fall down upon your knees and pray, and let the potter mold this clay
And you will not regret the day, he claimed you for his own.

Then every day you walk this earth, will be because he took your curse
And even though you were the worst, he claimed you for his own.
Oh, yes he’ll claim you for his own; He will claim you for his own.
