Quoting graciouscare:

My Friend Eternal

Gracefully I sought your face
From days of conflict and peace
To this I add what comes at length
The knowledge of our need

A word of truth spoken in love
A word to share my heart
With them who laugh and rise above
The troubles found afar

We share what is close to us
We share what is valued and dear
What is there to share a lie
As trouble draws us near

Give to them whose days are short
A gift of grace and truth
Give to them whose life is long
That pleasure companion?s brew

Trust in all the love you give
And God will honor send
To you a gift of eternal treasure
A gift of an eternal friend
