My Friend

Most of my friends
Have always been older than I;
And now they're passing on
I have faced with a sigh.

However, I have one friend,
Who will never leave my side;
He lived His life for me,
And for me He also died.

In Jesus I have faith,
And in Him I find hope;
Life can push me down,
But He will help me cope.

He has given me friends,
They're treasures to be sure;
They are angels when I need them,
With motives that are pure.

A friend sent by Jesus,
Is a gift like a gem so rare;
Their love will surround you,
And you'll feel that they care.

But the best friend I'll ever have
Will be Jesus, God's only Son;
He gives strength and comfort,
So He's my number one.
