The Dearest Friend

You are my rock and my fortress;
 Therefore, for Your name's sake,
 Lead me and guide me.
         ( Psalms 31:3 *NKJV )

 A good friend is worth more than gold, for they
Will stick by you through good times or bad. For, A man who has friends must himself be
Friendly, But there is a friend who sticks
Closer than a brother.   ( Proverbs 18:24 )
 Jesus Christ is such a friend, for He has said; You are
My friends if you do whatever I command you.
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant
Does not know what his master is doing; but
I have called you friends, for all things that I
Heard from My Father I have made known to
You.                                     ( John 15:14-15 )

 The Dearest Friend!

              I have a Friend in Jesus,
              He's ever walking near
              To share my every burden
              And take away my fear.

              It's in His precious name I pray
              To our God above;
              It's through His sacred teachings that
              I learned the way to love.

              God did not put me on this earth
              To walk life's path alone;
              He sent His Son to be my Guide,
              The dearest Friend I've known.

              No other One could be so true,
              He bore the cross for me;
              Because He died for my sins
              I must ever faithful be.

              If you are lonely on life's way
              And feel that no one cares,
              You have a Friend in Jesus
              If you will kneel in prayer.
