If you had a friend strong, simple, true,
If you had a friend like this, I say,
His worth would shine in the words you praised
~~ Robert Lewis ~~
Who knew your faults and who understood;
Who believed in the very best of you,
And who cared for you as a Father would;
So sweet and tender, so strong and true
You'd try to please Him in every way
And live at your bravest, now wouldn't you?
You'd shout His praises-yet-now how odd?
You tell me you haven't got such a friend
You haven't?
~ I wonder ~
What of God?
