Our Father above
In showing His love
Rich surprises to us does send
For who would have guessed
In the midst of distress
You’d become such a cherished friend?
It was during the crash
I made such a splash
When I fell smack on my face
Yet you have become
But second to none
For me, a picture of grace.
You could have been mad
Instead you were sad
And filled with so much compassion
You didn’t rave
But truly forgave
Though it certainly isn’t in fashion!
I do thank the Lord
Whose love was outpoured
When He entered my growing disaster
As He chose to send
Such a fine friend
To again fill my life with laughter.
At the end of my rope
You gave so much hope
How glad I am that I found you
For you are the best
When it comes to a test
In the lives of others around you!
For beyond your own pain
You came ‘round again
Gave all kinds of comfort to aid me
Thank God for a friend
On whom I can depend
You are such a remarkable lady!
