Faithful Friends

Faithful Friends

Among the great and glorious gifts
Our heavenly Father sends
Is the gift and understanding
That we find in loving friends.

For in this world of trouble
That is filled with strife and care
Everybody needs a friend
In whom they're free to share.

And somehow in this big wide world
We've loving faithful friends,
For God in all his charity
And wisdom always sends

A sense of understanding
And power of perception
And mixes these fine qualities
With kindness and affection.

So when we need some sympathy
Or a friendly hand to touch,
Or an ear that listens tenderly
And words that mean so much,

We seek our true and trusted friend
In the knowledge that we'll find
A heart that's sympathetic
And an understanding mind.

Thanks for being my friend!
