Hello this is Christian Raw Dog with a New Song To The Page but Old Recording "Jesus Is Your Friend"
Timeless Message...Timeless Song. Yes we all have friends and then we have friends if you know what I mean.. Just went thru something myself about a friend, this is what inspired me to up load this tune that was done so long ago. "Jesus Is Your Friend" is a song written by brother Mike Babcox about 1972. He formed a group called Harvest at that time and I was a part of that group playing guitar and vocals. I really enjoyed Mike's music allot for it was a blessing playing and performing it. So here it is! We did put it on tape back in about 1973. Hope you enjoy are blessed as much as I was. Rick
Below is something out of the Proverbs in the bible about friends, Of course I added my own twist after each verse about Jesus because He is the only true friend that will never leave us or desert us.
The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Who is this friend? Jesus
There are persons for companionship, but then there is a friend who is more loyal than family. Who is this friend? Jesus
Some “friends” pretend to be friends, but a true friend sticks closer than a brother. . Who is this friend? Jesus
The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother. Who is this friend? Jesus
There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. Who is this friend? Jesus
There are friends who pretend to be friends, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother who pretends to be a brother. . Who is this friend? Jesus
Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST (renewal, blessed quiet) FOR YOUR SOULS. 30 For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”
Merry Christmas you all.........Rick
