The True Friend
Two forces with opposing views,
Are bidding for you, friend,
Two forces and there retinues,
Their way would recommend.
Two forces make to you the plea,
To know what you would do,
And all depends on how you see;
And whom you listen to.
All of the earth, I offer thee,
Its riches and renown.
The Devil says to follow me.
Its easy to go down.
But Jesus says My way though dreer,
Has pleasure at the end,
Choose me my love, and let me hear,
And I will be your friend.
H. E. Crane
