My Sacred Friend

He is a man
He is so pure
He is love unfeigned
His kindness is sure.

He is the healer of my wounds
He is the lover of my enemy
He is my confidant
He died in Gethsemane.

He is my sacred friend
He is with me when I ache
He is my advocate
His love is no mistake.

He strengthens when I'm weak
He gives hope when I'm in need
He proves He's aware of me
He carries me indeed!

His name is Jesus Christ
He is my sacred friend
He takes me in His arms
He loves me to the end!

I will always love this Man
The One I call my friend
I'll look to Him in faith
My love to Him I'll lend.
