Friend

By Mike Bullock

Friend of sinners, glorious One
You chose me as Your own
When I was far off from You
My fate was overthrown
Since that day, I've come to know
The presence of Your Son
Help me Lord to persevere
To win the race we've run.

There is so much You want of me
I've let You down, I know
But if I take You seriously
Our partnership will grow
It's up to me to spare the time
To listen to Your voice
And patiently You wait for me
To make You my first choice.
