More Than a Friend

We've known each other all our lives,

but there's no way we could see

the destinies laid before us

only for you and me.



No matter how long it's been,

no matter how far away.

I'll always be there for you

in every kind of way

because you had the courage

to show me the light that day.



We have been there for each other

in these days of our lives,

and I know there's only one other

that I'll walk with in hard times.

His name is Jesus,

and it was you who brought me to him.

I hope he looks down and sees us,

and knows that we're more than friends.



You were the light for me that day

in the dark room called life,

and you saw through the outer shell of me.

He spoke through you that day

when I invited him in my life

because you were more than a friend to me...



Now I sit here writing this letter

wanting to glorify his name,

and knowing that I'm better

for following his way...



No matter how long it's been,

no matter how far away.

I'll always be there for you

in every kind of way

because you had the courage

to show me the light that day.



He is the light for us today day

in this world and this life,

and he sees through the outer shell of me.

I hope he speaks through me today

as I see him in your life

because you were more than a friend to me...



I know this road is long,

but I'll make it through.

I know now that I'm not alone

with more than a friend in you.

I know you'll stand beside me

in whatever it is I do,

and know I'll be there for you

because there's more than a friend in you.

more than a friend in...you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for my best friend.  I don't need to say her name because she knows who she is.  She planted the seed of Jesus Christ in me, and one day i hope to pay her back for that ultimate act of friendship she gave to me that day when I had so many questions for her, and most of all, I thank God for putting her in my life as the person she is.
