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
