Friend

What is a friend? Who is a friend? Someone who you respect; Someone who receives love and loves in return; Someone who listens, and trusts you to listen; Someone who knows when to be silly, and when to be serious. A friend is someone who I can tell my strengths and weaknesses.

I have a friend who knows me very well. I can tell her anything. She gives me good advice, and will love me unconditionally. She is my hero.

I have a friend who doesn't know he is my friend. He encourages me and builds me up in my life and in my faith. His stories and life lessons give me many things to think about. He challenges me. I admire him, respect him, and love him as a dear friend. He may never know the impact he has had on my life. His name is ... a secret.

I have this one other friend. He has given me so much. My heart belongs to him. I will live for him eternally, and will never cease to be amazed by him. He listens to me whenever I need to pour out my heart. He speaks to me when I need advice. He loves me despite my mistakes and faults. I can bring him my troubles and he will wipe away my tears. I can laugh with him. He gives me joy. He fills me with purpose. He will never leave me. He is my very best friend. He is my Savior. He is my love.

Wait.

I will wait for you there
Down on my knees where I met you
Give you all of my cares
Find a grace to hold onto now
I'm calling for you

I will wait for you there
Far from the world and its violence
It left me broken and bare
I need to hear you in the silence now
I'm calling for you

And with outstretched arms
I will sing out melodies.
And my beating heart
will pour out a symphony.
Hallelujahs in the morning
Hallelujahs in the night
I will wait for you as long as I have life.

I will wait for you there
Down on my knees where I met you
Cause life is a war fought with tears
But you are the strength I hold onto now
I'm calling for you...
