I Know No Other Friend ~

I know no better friend,
no other to hang around
none who can help to keep
my heart and mind sound.
I know no pal or buddy,
no other who can for me
keep my faith believing
in what I cannot see.
I know no other sidekick,
no other to spend my day
none who can help me
on the narrow way to stay.
I know no acquaintance,
no other who I can confide
none who can promise me
to always be at my side.
I know no better friend,
no other one who is true
that is why Jesus . . .
I put my faith in only You!
~~~~~~~~
A friend loveth at all times,
Greater love hath
no man than this,
that a man lay down
his life for his friends.

My Forever Friend ~
Some people have friends,
they call them their best
but, I have only One . . .
who gives me perfect rest.
With me He never leaves,
by my side He remains
whatever I need of Him
He never complains.
Some people have friends,
they call them their pals
but, I know of only One . . .
whose love never fails.
With me He provides,
all that I could want
my requests of Him
never come back to haunt.
Some people have friends,
they call them whatever . . . .
but, Jesus is my Friend
who will be there forever!
~~~~~~~~
A man that hath friends
must shew himself friendly:
and there is a friend that
sticketh closer than a brother.

Just Keep Looking Up ~
Things looking a bit dark,
canโt see His light
getting tired of battling
the same old fight?
Spinning in circles,
going round and round
canโt get ahead
feeling more than down?
Can’t catch a break,
no matter what you do
feel as if the whole world
is fighting against you?
Well, youโre not alone,
others feel just like you
but as CHRISTians we know
what we must do . . .
So, look up to the heavens,
put your life in God’s hands
Jesus is your one Friend
who truly understands.
He’s looking out for you,
believe it or not . . .
and if thatโs not the truth
then our faith is for naught.
So, donโt stop believing,
donโt you ever give up
for this too shall pass
so, just keep looking up!

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.”

Promises Galore ~
Lord, when I’m feeling beaten,
when l feel trodden on and down
You promised I’d be a conqueror
and to give me victories crown.
And when I’m feeling bound up,
when my spirit’s tied up in knots
You promised to be my deliverer
and to capture all my thoughts.
And when I’m feeling confused,
when my mind wanders about
You promised to be my counselor
and to rid me of all my doubt.
And when I’m feeling like a failure,
when my life is but a mess
You promised I’d be an overcomer
and to help me to onward press.
And when I’m feeling fearful,
when anxiety has me in a stew
You promised me Your power
and a mind that is sound too.
And when I’m feeling lonesome,
when no one else comes into my day
You promised to be my forever Friend
and my companion along the way.
Lord, when the day comes to an end,
when darkness captures the night
You promised to be my lamp . . .
and Your Word to be my light!

King James Version
“Whereby are given unto us
exceeding great
and precious promises:
that by these ye might
be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust.”
