I'm Glad You Are My Friend

When I’m lonely You’re the only
One who understands
The world may smile in proper style
Then pass as Time commands
But You are never far away
Or too absorbed to hear me pray
The broken heart You gently mend
And I’m so glad You are my Friend

When I’m lonely You’re the only
One who truly sees
The tender struggle or the trouble
Poured out on my knees
You have never turned away
Or said You have no time today
You never hurry or pretend
And I’m so glad You are my Friend

When I’m lonely You’re the only
One who intercedes
A human friend can’t comprehend
Our deepest inner needs
But You designed each hidden part
Know each desire of my heart
You abide and You defend
And I’m so glad You are my Friend

What a Friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grief to bear
Waht a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.
