Friends at the Spanish Steps
AWAITING FRIENDS
Awaiting friends
Soon to come
To see the glories of Rome
Matched against the hand of God
His world unfurled
Rome played a significant part
Romans ruled the world that day
That Christ saved me
By His sacrifice on Calvary
Poets and kings
Failed to note
That history changed that day
Now my friends will come and see
The ancient and the new
And be encouraged to see God’s grace
All the time He’s given
Wealth and pomp abound
The storied are not to be found
Across the dirty Tiber
Christians crouched in fear
God’s glory reigned
Rome marched
Jesus loved
People set free
My friends and I
Will see the Son
In Rome’s history
