Have You Met My Friend?

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...
