When I Needed Someone…   You Weren’t There!

When I needed someone the most.

 You wouldn’t listen.

You said; “There’s too many things in life

 I don’t want to be missin.’”

When I knocked on your door. 

And asked you to pray…

You said; “don’t bother me!”  “Just go away!”

When I was going through a hard time.

 I called your home.

You really got upset.  And hung up the phone!

When I was at a very low point

of much discouragement.

Not once…  Did you offer any

kind of encouragement!

 I’ve thought about everything that has been said.

At times, I wonder if I “was better off dead.”

It’s almost like you wish “I wasn’t there at all.”

You never talk to me.  Or give a call.

Should I attempt to call on the same

 Jesus, you claim to know?

Would he listen to me…  

Or simply tell me to GO???

If I make an attempt to call on his name…

Would he get upset like you?  And complain?

What do you suggest that I do?

Especially that I don’t really have

anyone else to turn to…

Will Jesus turn his back on me…  The way you did?

Without any hope or meaning…  I have no reason to live.

I think I’m going to take the time,

 and ask Jesus to come in…

Perhaps this is the way that

I can really find a FRIEND!
