Your Best Friend

It’s all I want There isn't anything else How could there be? What could ever be greater? Someone will have it You will bestow it on someone Your right hand man Your bosom buddy Someone so near Someone so dear To your divine heart So trusted, so needed Someone so indispensable The closest in your counsel The one you share all with The one you trust Not that you don’t trust others But the one you trust the most Your sidekick The one next to your throne The one who will enjoy it That greatest of honors To serve you so closely Forever at your right hand So favored, so trusted Oh, help me do it Help me lay it all down To give all to you To be the closest one On whose trusted shoulder You would lay you weary head When your heart is heavy Mighty King, Beautiful Savior Let me hold you Let me console you Let me bear you up I want it, I want you You’re alI I want It’s everything To serve at you right hand Closer to you than any other Waiting on your pleasure Let me do it Let me be the one For my heart will break If I alone cannot be What you are to me So precious beyond words Ever faithful, ever kind I’ll never cease to want it To be among all men To be your most valuable servant To be your very best friend Stephen Pursell, 3/31/16
