GOD

More Than A Friend

I am your friend

on a beautiful journey

our friendship like a small vessel

carries us over the waves of our caring

our many roles to each other

reverse as the tides

kindred as

sibling - teacher - helper - parent - friend

but we know we are so very much more

precious pilgrimage of our hearts

Meeting A Friend

Days and weeks and years have passed
And you have become so dear
I wait and wait till we can meet
We do and I’m filled with cheer.

We laugh and play like little children
And do what we desire
It’s so much fun to be with you
That is something I require.

But best of all is what I see
And feel whenever you’re around
Is how blessed I am to have a friend
In whom I see godliness abound

And I know that God has given me
A friend as great as you
To have and love and be free with
A gift of God so true.

The One who is never far from me
Possesses all of these and more

Friend for Life

Faithful to my every need
Righteous and dependable
Inability to ever cause me harm
Eternal so I never am alone
Naturally for me not against
Dependable beyond my greatest need
