THANK GOD FOR YOU

Thank God for you, good friend of mine,
Seldom is friendship as thine;
How very much I wish to be
As helpful as you’ve been to me--
Thank God for you.


When I recall from time to time
How you inspired this heart of mine,
I find myself inclined to pray,
“God bless my friend this very day”--
Thank God for you.


Of many prayers quests, one thou art
On whom I ask God to impart
Rich blessings from His storehouse care,
And grant to you His gracious care--
Thank God for you.

So often at the throne of grace
There comes a picture of your face,
And then instinctively I pray
That God may guide you all the way--
Thank God for you.

Some day I hope with you to stand
Before the throne at God’s right hand,
And say to you at journey’s end,
“Praise God, you’ve been to me a friend”--
Thank God for you.
