My Best Friend

 

I want you to meet my best friend.
I've known him for many a year,
and his love for me knows no end,
with strength like that whom shall I fear?
 
He's been with me through successes,
and in times I was a failure.
What ever problem comes my way,
he is by my side with a cure.
 
He accepts me the way I am.
That very acceptance makes me,
in spite of all of my faults,
to want to be all I can be.
 
He laughs with me over mistakes,
and weeps with me when I am sad.
He's been faithful throughout my life,
the best friend a man ever had.
 
His love for me has no limits.
Loyal when others turn away.
He listens to each of my hurts,
and to what ever else I say.
 
One day I'll see him face to face,
when life on earth for me must end.
I hope then that its said of me,
"That Jesus Christ was his best friend!"
