I had two friends I blindly loved                        

And trusted them with all I had.

They soon proved false and left behind

Suspicion that mankind was bad.

 

I saw men lift the sword of war

To kill and maim the innocent.

They scorned the tears I could not hide

And increased my bewilderment.

 

I weighed the evidence I saw

And counted mankind but a loss,

Yet failed to realize that I

Had missed the message of the cross.

 

There were two friends that Jesus loved

That did betray Him for a gain

Of money and security

And caused Him so much grief and pain. 

 

Some nailed Him high upon a cross,

A man who never did a wrong.

He only asked God to forgive

The sins of those who were along.

 

God gave to man His only Son                              

And precious was the life He lost.

How could God give the best He had

Unless mankind was worth the cost?
