A broken lock, an open door
Freedom came with a painful price.
I would not know, for quite some time
Freedom's cost to break the vise.
The world says I betrayed a friend
Left by the wayside to save face.
Traveled for days with just one thought
The day will come I’ll ask for grace.
The one thing that I cherished most
Seemed lost to me at present time.
His trust in me had been undone
I now began a painful climb.
Those close to me were now on hold
That pain gnawed at my soul each night.
As each prayer rose, I heard him say
In dark you walk, then comes the light.
My friend seemed always at my side
At times he carried then just held.
I could not grasp his selfless love
His love for me would never yield.
Eternity had come and gone
Since that day I shunned my friend.
We’ve grown close, as brothers now
Light brings darkness to an end.
Those precious things that matter most
Have been restored an hundred fold.
Why did my friend give back to me
When I had left him in the cold?
My eyes were opened, I could see
My friend had paid for all my debts.
He took me in his holy arms
Pure love I felt without regrets.
Years have passed and time has shown
My friend and Savior lends his hand.
Hands and feet though scarred for me
Will lift us all, and with him stand.
I will always show my friend
My love for him to those I serve.
He gave to me the greatest gift
Of which I know I don’t deserve!!
