A Friend From Above

I prayed for you before we met

Not knowing what you’d be,

I asked the Lord to send a friend.

One chosen just for me

I asked that they’d be Godly

With wisdom of his ways.

A friend to help and guide me

In the troubles of these days

So often in life, we need someone

To listen while we talk.

Someone who will not condemn or judge

But encourage us as we walk.

The narrow road we choose to follow

May sometimes make us stumble.

But to have a friend to catch our fall

Teaches us to be humble.

When I asked The Lord to send a friend

Though many came and went

He gave much more than I asked

For you are the friend HE sent.
