a friend loves at all times
you call me friend
but can I say the same of you?
are you a friend
a friend never leaves
and yet I’ve felt so alone
a friend is trustworthy
and now all trust is gone
how could you
let this happen to me
your friend, your daughter
have you not seen how I’ve served you
how I have followed your law and your precepts
how I’ve dedicated my life to you
and yet
you strike me with disease
with a blood sickening illness
what friend you are!
to watch me suffer
a friend would take it all away
so who are you then
if not my friend
who are you?
You are God.
You ARE Jehovah.
You are with me in my suffering.
Your heart breaks with mine.
How I wish things were different
Oh, Father, take this cup from me
Even your own SON suffered
His blood on the tree.
Will you still call me friend,
when I don’t want to be?
I could read this a thousand times and it would touch my heart and soul every single time. Blessings on you, Leah.
thank you!
