Who Are You Expecting?
If we expect a stranger, we want to impress,
We will clean the house up. There can't be any mess!
To make a good impression we go to any lengths
We make it so we get our chance to show our greatest strengths.
An old friend, on the other hand, will take us as we are
They will still be friends with us though we're under par.
What friend would dream of pointing out every minor flaw?
We surely do not hold them in dread, or fear, or awe!
They'd get a hug of welcome. We'd make them feel at ease.
It would be no trouble we'd do anything to please.
When our Lord is coming it will be the same
He will not be looking out for people he can blame!
He is a friend to all of us.
The best friend we ever had.
He has loved us in our shame and when we're being bad.
So look forward to His coming and welcome His return.
For you have His friendship - a prize you could not earn!
