Sometimes it seems that Jesus is
my only lifelong friend.
What Joy to know, that I am His,
who loves my heart to tend!
That earthly friends are often full
of thoughts of their own lives,
I understand it as a rule,
but heart within me strives.
To spend some moments on my own
I find the peace I need,
while Jesus sits upon the Throne
and by my side to lead.
The challenges of daily tests
may tempt me wonder, “Why?”
My Jesus leads apart to rest,
to on His shoulder cry.
There’s wonder, “When I’ve breathed my last,
“will I bring You Glory, Lord?
“Have I on your cross my sins all cast?
“Am I living by Your Word?”
But Jesus is my lifelong Friend.
He walks me on the Glory Road.
He carries me, not points to send
when I do shoulder heavy load.
“I love you, Son. I bore the cross.
I rose up from the grave.
I came to take your every dross.
I live to fully save.”
