My Best Friend


Though I have earthly friends
That mean the world to me
Friends that have stood by me
Were the best that they could be
When it comes to friendship
The best I've ever had
Is one very special friend
Who makes my heart so glad

He's someone I can talk to
To share with along life's way
One who's always there for me
Anytime, night or day
When tears begin to fall
He speaks so lovingly
My child I'm here for you
You can depend on me

This someone died on Calvary
So that I might be free
That someone stops the tempter
From overcoming me
Someone who places arms of love
Around me as I go
My friend's name is Jesus
And oh I love Him so
