"A Friend Like You"

(verse)
Wherever you are,
Wherever I am,
Wherever the Lord may lead us,
I'll be your friend.
Whatever it takes,
Whatever you do,
Whatever mistakes you make,
I commit to loving you, cause

(chorus)
A friend like you is forever.
Through and through we'll stick together.
In love and truth, in all kinds of weather.
Loving the other (another),
Thanking God for each other.

(verse)
When my hair has turned gray
And yours is gray too,
When my voice is not so clear
And my eyes are not as good
When I'm living my last,
Looking back on my past,
I'll be thankful for our friendship
And the many times we laughed.

(chorus)
(bridge)
I thank the Lord He took me by the hand,
And led me to walk into your life.
It was you who came to me with understanding,
And love for this broken child.

(verse)
When the Lord's taken me
Up to Heaven to be
In a place of love and gladness,
Where joy's a certainty,
I'll be awaiting the day
You are there too,
When we can carry on in laughter
Just like we used to do.

(chorus)
