When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there's nothing she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

by B.Y. Williams


Your friendship is like a lighthouse,
Standing tall upon the rocky shore;
Beckoning me inside your light,
Best of friends in life forever more.

Through all the stormy seas of life,
Your friendship shines out to me;
Rescuing me from the rocks below,
Like a ship upon the storm tossed sea.

Your light has helped me through,
Many a long and lonely night;
Talking out all my problems,
Telling me it would be alright.

Your friendship light has been there,
In all of the good times too;
Sharing good times and laughter,
No fair weather friend you.

You have never judged me,
But truth you’ve always told;
We’ll be friends through old age,
Your friendship is worth more than gold.

You have always been there for me,
Through all the calm and stormy seas;
I don’t think I can tell you adequately,
What your friendship means to me.

You have always told me,
There is nothing me and you;
Can not overcome together,
Then you showed me that it’s true.

The best way I can show you,
Just what this friendship means to me;
Is to be the kind of wonderful friend,
To you that you have been to me.
