My Best Friend

You hold the rank of Leader,

In our relationship,

I lean on you for guidance, 

Releasing ego’s grip. 

I come to you in peace, Lord,

Head bowed in reverence, there, 

I wait in patience listening,

Knowing that you care.

Knowing you as I do, Lord, 

What truth you bring to me,

To live a day without you,

Would be insanity. 

You are so fundamental, 

To who I really am,

Without you I’m an orphan,

A lost and lonely lamb. 

My Leader, Parent, Savior,

As Shepherd, to me, you tend.

I know you there most fully,

As simply, my best Friend. 

Today, I come before you, Lord,

Can you hear my heart?

It sings a song of love for you, 

Says, ‘I will do my part,’

I’ll follow what you say, Lord,

My life to you I give,

Use me for thy great service,

So that others live,

As One in joyful union, 

God’s Movement to bestow,

His Love to flow on through us, 

His Will for All to know. 

For those who read this poem now,

I’m witnessing to you,

Asking you to go inside, 

Find my dear Friend so true.

He is a Friend for you, there,

He loves you as you are, 

He sees you as created,

God’s point of light, His star.

In closing I do witness, 

His love’s there to be known,

He is with you always,

You are not alone.
