MY FRIEND
"…there is a friend
who sticks closer than a brother."
Proverbs
18:24
Sometimes
I go to God's house, sometimes He visits mine;
He often
comes to work with me and helps me pass the time.
He's with
me in the kitchen when I cook and as I scrub;
I
meditate upon Him while lolling in the tub.
He keeps
me company driving and when I take a walk;
God and I
stroll quietly and other times, we talk.
God's
there when I am shopping and watering my flowers;
He
inspires my writing, in computer weary hours.
He's in
me as I minister and hears me as I pray,
lifts me
up when I am downcast and helps me through the day.
He sups
with me at table and He joins me in my rest.
Oh, when
we are communing, they're the times I like the best.
God loves
it when I worship Him and glorify His Name;
He shines
His face upon me and ignites me with His flame!
I read to
know God better, for He knows all about me;
fills
sleepy thoughts at bedtime with His sweet tranquility.
How
blessed I am to know Him! Love overflows my heart!
I count
upon His faithfulness and know we'll never part.
My heart
is filled with gladness every moment that I spend
with the
Creator of the Universe, Holy God, my Friend.
