My Savior, my friend
    Wants for me the greatest good
    Sacrificed himself
    That I may stand before God
    Unashamed, Redeemed by Love

    Lord Jesus, my friend
    Took my place on sin debts cross
    All my sins forgave
    I am now a new creature
    Praising His gracious mercy

Dennis; He is the best Friend we can ever hope to have. You have captured the essence of the Joy his friendship brings. The only way you could have accomplished this glory. is by the fact that you have and know a friendship with God. Wonderful!!! Love, Ellie

You have expressed in poetic form the importance of knowing Jesus Christ as our Savior... saved from sin and at peace with Him. This is Wonderful. Bob <><

Dear Brother,
This was an exalted & glorious use of this
form of poetic style, which really shows substance coming from a spiritual heart of love and gratitude for that most Worthy One.
Wonderful words of Praise! David
