My desire is to serve the Lord
And walk according to His Word
Many times I fail, but
He calls me 'friend'
Over the years when trouble came
And more than once I was to blame
I stumbled and fell, still
He calls me 'friend.'
As I continue to walk in God
In this life upon Earth's dark sod
My life is hid in Yeshua messiah,
He calls me 'friend'
John 15: 13-15
