PRAYER FOR MY FRIEND
Today I prayed for you, my friend,
Your tribulation soon to end.
By lifting hands to Him I plea
To be healed by His victory.
I ask that if any, tears be few
While He bestows your health anew.
Sometimes we think He doesnŽt care
By giving us a cross to bear.
We question why He would allow
Our suffering; yet it makes us bow
Then persevere on paths HeŽs laid
To claim His truths which never fade.
When we accept His will-to-be,
WeŽre disciplined for eternity.
For now, He carries you, my friend,
Soon ease and comfort will begin.
May bands of angels now surround.
I pray for peace that will abound.
God bless you knowing how I care
And daily lift your name in prayer.

IŽLL BE HERE FOR YOU
IŽll be here for you
Until the Good Lord clips the wings of time.
When the night falls hard and breaks your heart,
IŽll dry the tears from your eyes.
When your little ship of dreams
Is about to be dashed against the rocks,
Let my open arms be a safe harbor;
A quiet place to talk.
When all hope grows dim,
IŽll be a lantern in the storm,
And an awning where you find shelter,
ŽTil youŽre on your feet once more.
IŽll see you keep your courage,
And that you continue to walk in Truth,
IŽll stand in the gap, my friend,
In constant prayer for you.
IŽll be here for you,
Albeit, by divine intervention,
This friendship weŽve come to share,
To me, is such a blessing.
No matter what comes to be,
Rest assured, IŽll see you through;
For now and all eternity,
IŽll be here for you.
