Have You Met My Friend? Lyrics

HAVE YOU MET MY FRIEND
BY CARRINGTON DAVID ASH
© 2009
HE STOPPED IN AT A PARTY
I WAS HAVING FOR MYSELF
PITY WAS KEEPPING ME COMPANY
MY GUEST INCLUDED FAlLURE, LACK OF FAITH NO CONFIDENCE
AND LOW SELF ESTEEM CAME IN SAYING NO ONE INVITED ME
I HAD A SICKNESS CALLED SIN
FOR WHICH I COULD NOT FIND THE CURE
AND HOPELESSNESS KEPT COMING TO MY DOOR
THEN HE CAME IN HE SAID YOU CALLED MY NAME

THAT’S HOW NEW LIFE BEGINS.
WE BECAME FRIENDS
HE SAID MY BLOOD CAN WASH AWAY YOUR EVERY SIN
AND IT COMES WITH A GUARANTEE
HAVE YOU MET MY FRIEND
HAVE YOU OPENED YOUR HEART
TO LET HIS LOVE COME IN
OH, HAVE YOU MET MY FRIEND
THE ONE WHO DIED ON THE CROSS
AND YES HK ROSE AGAIN, OH YES
THE JOY I EXPERIENCED WAS TOO GREAT TO KEEP TO MYSELF
I HAD TO TELL IT EVERYWHERE I’D GO
I MET THE BEST FRIEND I HAD EVER FOUND
PICKED ME UP TURNED MY SOUL AROUND
PLACED MY FEET ON SOLID GROUND
YES HE CAME IN
HE CALMED MY EVERY STORM
AND GAVE ME PEACE WITHIN
WE BECAME FRIENDS
I KNOW' I’LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER FRIEND LIKE HIM
ONE SO FAITHFUL AND TRUE
HAVE YOU MET MY FRIEND
HAVE YOU OPENED YOUR HEART
TO LET HIS LOVE COME IN
OH, HAVE YOU MET MY FRIEND
THE ONE WHO DIED ON THE CROSS
AND THEN HE ROSE AGAIN
HAVE YOU MET, HAVE YOU MET, HAVE YOU MET HIM
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD
THE KING OF KlNGS THE LORD OF LORDS
HIS NAME IS JE – JE-E-E-SUS
HE CAME TO SEEK THE LOST
HE FOUND MY SOUL WHEN I WAS...
