THE LORD IS MY FRIEND

THE LORD IS MY FRIEND

LORD, YOU ALWAYS ANSWER WHEN I CALL.
YOU HELP WHEN I FALL,
BUT YOU NEVER COMPLAIN AT ALL.
GOD, YOU ARE MY REAL FRIEND.

YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE TO CONFRONT ME WHEN I AM WRONG.
I WANT TO LEAVE THIS WORLD, BUT YOU SAY THIS IS WHERE I BELONG.
YOU COMFORT ME, AND TELL ME TO STAY STRONG.
GOD, YOU ARE MY TRUE FRIEND,

YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT I NEED,
AND OFFER IT BEFORE I PLEAD.
JUST LIKE A BOOK, MY MIND YOU READ.
GOD, YOU ARE MY LOVING FRIEND.

YOU SEE IN ME GIFTS I DENY.
YOU PUSH ME TO GIVE NEW THINGS A TRY.
YOU LOVE ME, AND EVEN MORE WHEN I CRY.
GOD, YOU ARE MY PERFECT FRIEND.

YOU ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL I HAVE FOUND.
WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH AND I AM DOWN,
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO STICKS AROUND.
GOD, YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND.
