My Friend
You are my friend - a part of my
heart;
You never stop - but help me to start.
You know my ways - my weakness and strength;
You give so much - go to every length.
You light the dark - dispel all
fear;
You are there - always near.
You give me ideas -trust I will follow;
You fill my life - it's no longer hollow.
You show the way - so I won't stumble;
You teach me always - always be humble.
You bless me with hope - faith and love;
You lift me up - on the wings of a dove.
You share such beauty - so wondrous
to see;
You know the how - the why of me.
You know the beginning - and the end;
You helped me know - the meaning of friend.
You are my all - my everything;
You make me raise my voice - to sing.
You are my Saviour - Father to all;
You are Jesus - I need only call.
