How sweet to have such special friends
When days are dark and dreary
How nice to hear I'm praying for you
And feel the warmth of God's love too.
The encouraging words come from afar
Life is so easy as we build a special bond
When you are in the valley low
Friends do pray their love will show.
Our friends are like a thread of gold
We care love and hold them dear
God knew we would need each other
His command was "To love one another."
We may never meet this side of heaven
Tho' we feel each others hurt and pain
We'll continue to pray for those we love
Until someday we'll meet in heaven above.
Thank you my friends for being so dear
For showing love and your fervent prayer
I talk to my God for you each day
May you feel His warmth in every way.
