Be a Friend

[motor]

Have you ever heard this song?

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky

This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try

Well, Im on my way
Yes, Im back to stay
Well, Im on my way back home

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup
And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try

You know there are a lot of lonely people out there.I used to go to nursing homes on visitation and as i would go in elderly women and men in wheelchairs would reach out to me and many a time they would say, "Oh i'm so glad you came to see me,i'm so lonely" It would break my heart..there are some who could be in a crowded room and still be lonely. all they need is a friend to love them.. my friends we as Christians should never be lonely again and our life can be meaningful and full of joy..remember, Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us and yes, He is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.He speaks to us through his Word and we talk to him in our prayers..that's what the lonely people need, a relationship with Jesus and need to know the love of Christ..I want to encourage you to walk and talk with Jesus, showing yourself friendly to the lonely around you and telling them about Jesus who wants to be their friend..

This is for all the lonely people.

Thinking that life has got them down

Don't give up until you've drink from the silver cup

And given your heart to Jesus Christ

Chorus..He'll never let you down
Yet he'll always lift you up
But you'll never know
till you try

This is for all the single people

Thinking tha tlife has passed them by

Don't give up till you've drank from the silver cup

And given your life to Jesus Christ.
