Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I do not know who wrote the poem but I believe the poem you are referring to is called Are You My Friend.

My friend I stand in Judgment now
And feel that you're to blame somehow
On earth I walked with you day by day
And never did you point the Way

You knew the LORD in Truth and glory
But never did you tell me the Story
My knowledge then was very dim
You could have led me safe to Him

Though we lived together on the earth
You never told me of the second birth
And now, I stand this day condemned
Because you failed to mentioned him

You taught me many things, that's true
I called you friend and trusted you
But I learn now it's too late
You could have kept me from this fate

We walked by day and talked by night
And yet you showed me not the light
You let me live and love and die
You know I never lived on high

Yes, I called you friend in life
And trusted you through joy and strife
And yet on coming to this end
I cannot now call you my friend.
