Some friends come like a gentle wind
While others-just gone like the wind
Some sail with us against the wind
Friends can heal; friends can give us wounds
True friends won’t leave us lick our wounds
Life's not obliged to give true friends
Many promise us, we're your friends
When troubles come everyone pretends
They will not stay; they look away
They might absent on the big day
Life's taught us to take it in stride
On the wings of His grace we'll ride
They're frail and fallible like us
Let go; let God empower us
He will give us the impetus
Vincent survived a severe stroke
His speech slurred and he hardly spoke
He shuffled in a shambling gait
His old friends then gave him the gate
Though he'd sat with them in the gate
I've known him in my neighborhood
I visit him in his abode
We break bread and have fellowship¹
We feel at home in our worship
Sharing trials strengthens friendship
Jonathan risked his life for David²
For Vincent there is no such need
He stands by me in all prayers
We're besties and prayer partners
Your best friend's here, the wife declares
Vincent's got well amazingly
He sings and talks, and laughs with me
He cites a verse; he sings a hymn
His vibrant faith must have healed him
I'm privileged to befriend him
Abraham was reckoned God's friend³
Blessed are those who find a friend
Jesus calls each of us His friend4
We're blessed to have a Divine Friend
Nothing can compare to this Friend
