Being a friend to the friendless

Being a friend to the friendless
exemplifies real love
the kind Jesus had shown on earth
even now from above

for many are lost in their way
not knowing how to find
the way that leads right to Jesus
Whose tender heart is kind

able to love such evil men
amid their darkened state
while His Spirit woos them to come
the Lord does fondly wait

by working with His righteous church
friendless souls meet their God
touching them with His heart of love
and a reassuring nod

that life is more than being alone
there’s hope for all who come
who thirst for life that’s eternal
found only in God’s Son

you never know the lives you touch
by being just a friend
and showing that you are concerned
a helping hand to lend

for there remains a harvest field
of souls that’s prime to reap
a lonely face could be the one
that Jesus wants to keep
