God, My Friend, Wants You
By Brian Riecke
Chorus:
The Pharisees and the Sadducees came to test my Lord,
words. But Jesus saw them for what they were, for him ‘twas
plain to see. He knew they’re men with empty hearts…
Sometimes like you and me.
1.Here’s a man and he has a coin, this tax must I pay. Here’s
a man who says all his time is spent working for a wage. Jesus
said you must give to man only what is due. But give to God
what is God’s, and God… my friend wants you.
2. A woman marries seven times, which husband when she
dies? A girl with cancer lays in bed, she turns her head and
cries. But Jesus says you are misled you fail to understand.
You’ll live as angels when you’re raised now come… come take
my hand.
3. “Teacher, what’s the greatest law?” a lawyer asked my
Lord. “The world is tough,” a young one says, “How can I
survive?” “Love your God with your whole heart and your
neighbor as yourself. For these two laws are all you need, on
these… all others rest.
Final Chorus:
The Pharisees and the Sadducees, and today, you and me; we
cannot trap him with his words, in fact, they set us free! And
so my friends it’s plain to see what we all must do. Give to God
what is God’s and God… my friend wants you.
