I Was Looking for Someone…

I was looking for someone who’d love me

—faults and all,

I don’t know who to talk to—

or who to call.

I wanted to talk to my “Christian”

neighbor yesterday,

But he wouldn’t even give me

“the time of day.”

He was too busy cleaning his motor

home and S.U.V.

To spend any time with someone like me.

Are all church people just like

my neighbor,

Too busy watching t.v., reading

the newspaper.

I’m sure I’ll find someone some day,

Who’s not too busy to show me the way.

I know God has some people out

there somewhere,

Someone to love me—someone to care.

I ask, are you one that I can truly depend,

Who’ll be there for me till the very end?

I’m not looking for people playing church—

I’m really not,

But for those truly saved, redeemed and

blood bought.

These are the people God can really use,

Sold out to Jesus—they’ve nothing to lose!!!
