Friends and Family

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thank You for Your boundless grace,

For loving family,

And for the friends that I hold dear.

All are precious to me.

 

We pass through this life so quickly,

There’s hardly time to learn

All of the answers that we seek,

Those for which our hearts yearn.

 

We can get so lost in questions,

That we forget to hear

The answers that we’ve been given

Through every passing year.

 

The first answer is family,

Those born of flesh or love,

Who share our troubles and our joys,

Stand with us, push or shove,

 

The ones who cover us in prayer,

And remind us to dream,

Those who forgive and lift us up

After each crazy scheme.

 

Those who hold us closely within

The love born of His Grace,

Are those who most clearly reflect

Our loving Savior’s face.

 

Proverbs 17:17

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
