As many of you know, I have been writing songs for several years. A few weeks back God gave me the words and music to a song that has ministered to my heart during this time of tragedy that our family has faced. We have had many friends visit, call, pray and send cards. And their support and friendship means more than words can express. But this song talks about our greatest friend, Jesus. And in the past several days he has proven his friendship to me time and time again. As you read the lyrics below please realize that he wishes to be your friend as well.
My Friend
VS.1 I found a friend today when I knelt down to pray
And he listened to the burdens of my soul.
His grace and mercy, he freely gave to me
And when I rose I knew that he was in control.
Chorus. His name is Jesus, the greatest friend I know
He shares his time with me because he loves me so
And in my darkest night, he then becomes my shining light
So if you’re tried within, I recommended my friend.
VS. 2 Now if you find your life is full of care and strife
And it seems as if your troubles have no end.
Then find a place to pray, oh and don’t delay
For in that quiet place is where you’ll find this friend.
Tag. And in my darkest night, he then becomes my shining light
So if you’re tried within, I recommended my friend.

Great words - we would love to hear you sing it.
Sounds like a great song. You should record yourself singing it and then put it on your blog for all of us to hear.
