My Forever Friend

A Forever Friend
True friendship is forever,
for all eternity.
When you look for a friend
you must do so carefully.

A good friend will encourage,
and listen to you, too.
When times are hard a friend
will always be with you.

He’ll comfort you and guide you,
when sometimes you are scared.
Yet, when the worst is over,
you’ll still know that he cared.

Even though you might stumble,
your friend constant will be
patient with his guidance.
He’ll counsel lovingly.

He’ll be there in the good times.
He’ll be there in the bad.
He’ll smile when you’re happy.
He’ll be there when you are sad.

Earthly friends may come and go
throughout your whole lifespan.
There is One eternal,
who’ll forever hold your hand.

This timeless friend is Jesus,
who died for this world’s sin.
If you will only ask,
He’ll be your forever friend.
