These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Agreement

The joy of finding a new friend
is wonderful and blest.
Agreement in our thoughts will blend
with hope to give us rest.

As friend with friend we find our place
to share agreement's bliss.
The wondrous gift of God's Own Grace
performs by His Hand this.

Distractions may come in between
to mar our hoped-for time,
but heart's agreement fully seen
is friendship most sublime.

Constraints of days and wand'ring hours
may mitigate our joy,
agreement in eternal tow'rs
will God's Own Will employ.

Elect from Earth's Foundation's true,
agreement in His Word.
The heart made holy, wondrous new
agrees with One Lone Lord.
