A SPECIAL FRIEND
I set on the back pew of a church that day
I was there because of a child who led me in and showed me the way
As a girl sang a song about going into the world and lighting your candle
God opened my eyes and made me see so much more that alone I couldn’t handle
God knew that if he was going to get my attention and help me to be changed
He would have to send me a special friend to show me how that my life could be rearranged
Then he sent you to shine your candle ever so bright into the darkness of my life
You talked about Gods love his forgiveness and grace how he would take care of my strife
I could have exited from God’s presence that day bound in chains discouraged and distraught
But I now live in the light of the day knowing that you helped me by the lessons that you taught
Now its my turn to take this light of mine and go into the world and shine it ever so bright
Because of you my friend with God on my side I have many new challenges I hope to get right
WITHIN EVERY PERSON GOD PLACES A LIGHT THAT SHINES DON’T HIDE IT LET IT SHINE FOR ALL TO SEE YOUR NEVER KNOW ONE DAY YOU MAY BE A FRIEND FOR SOMEONE LIKE MY FRIEND WAS FOR ME
