I have a friend
Wounded from a lifetime of battles.
Pummeled and weary
She weeps at the foot of the cross.
Laying her burdens there
Asking for strength to overcome.
I have a friend
I cry with her,
“Your conflict has meaning,
I learn from your struggles,
You have strength I can’t understand.”
I have a friend,
She counsels me.
I have a friend
Made wise by a lifetime of searching.
Tenderly patient
She weeps at the foot of the cross.
Interceding for me there
Asking for strength to overcome.
I have a friend
I sit with her,
“Your lessons have meaning,
I learn from your teaching,
You have knowledge I can’t understand.”
I have a friend,
She guides me.
I have a friend
With scars torn into his wrists and feet.
Bloodied and beaten
He cried from the joist of a cross.
Bearing uncounted sins there
Asking for strength to overcome.
I have a friend
I pray to him,
“Your sacrifice has meaning,
I don’t think I’m worthy,
You gave a gift I can’t understand.”
I have a friend,
He calls to me.
