Friends In High Places

FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES So much for the laughs Late night chats Never ending teasing, and name callings Like brothers and sisters of one Like we were born at once So much of tagging along Long distance walking But never having enough One in trouble is all in trouble One’s sad story is comedy for us all But they that are always on the lookout At every moment of our lives they are by our side With so much care, never ending love Never to care about where we are from Never to keep a record of our flaws For at a time wept Out loud cried in agony Of the piercings, stabbing scratching and heavy load Slapped, splatted and denied on spotlight But stretched out his arms to let the waterfall of his blood flow down Without a thought of hesitation, no turning back he fulfilled it At the cross up high they hanged a friend The king who stepped to my place The author of love and compassion My friend from high places took my place That slot was mine, the debts were mine I never asked Him but he did it anyway And now every second of my life I look unto Him My very friend of high places I cannot repay him but I just thank Him And His smile brightens my way My Friend Jesus Author Neo Charisma Masetlane
