Forever By My Side

Lord, I come as I am

You sit close beside me

When my road feels longer than my strength

You do not turn away

You hear the words I cannot shape

And meet me where I pray

A faithful hand, a steady heart

My refuge every day

God, You are a good Friend to have

Closer than the breath I breathe

When I stumble, You hold me fast

Your love will not leave

God, You are a good Friend to have

Forever walking

with me

In the quiet work of ordinary days You teach my heart to

stand

You call me by a name of grace

And guide me by the hand

Not far above, but here with me

The Friend who understands

God, You are a good Friend to have

Closer than the breath I breathe

When I stumble, You hold me fast

Your love will not leave

God, You are a good Friend to have

Forever walking

with me You know my name You stay the same

Through every trial Through every change Jesus,

my Friend

You

make me brave

God, You are a good Friend to have

Closer than the breath I breathe God,

You are a good Friend

to have Forever walking with me Forever walking with me

Forever walking with me

My God, my Friend
