Once you called me friend
Somehow, I wanted to give you my faith
I failed, so sorry
How inadequate are my feelings!
I wish I could have been better
Can I make it up to you, somehow?
I will find a way to love you, somehow
I will find a way to be a friend
My heart will break, but for the better
- It makes me remember my faith -
And shows me how love is more than feelings
But that is just a sorry, sorry
Heart, how sorry,
I miss you! Somehow
I acknowledge only my feelings:
Instead of being a friend
And giving you a gift of faith
Make a difference – be better
Indeed, I’ve found it better
To be loving, not sorry
And to give love, not faith
And always be a giver, somehow
Be Christ’s follower, His friend,
And give up selfish feelings
No longer sorry, I am your friend
Dominant is faith, not feelings
And I have found a better faith: love.

I lost my best-friend 2 years ago.She was in a trajic car accident.I never got to share my faith with her.She was on her way to a church event i had invited her to.I had it all planned out I fretted every day about what i was going to say to her and if i thought it would make a diffrence.Don’t wait to tell anyone about the Lord.It may be to late!I know my friend didn’t have a relationship with my God.Why did i have to wait?I shouldv’e gone and told her right away not wait!It pains me every single day that i waited!Share God with your friends now dont procastinate!
