We had a girls' retreat this past weekend. During some quiet time, these lyrics just kinda came to me so I wrote them down. Here goes.
My Best Friend
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my Jesus, my best friend
Walking along the empty sands
No one to keep me safe
I turn to the stars
And ask God for a friend...
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my Jesus, my best friend
He ran to me, stopped me in my tracks
Took me in His arms, they were open wide
Saved me from myself
And all these evil thoughts...
No longer am I alone here
I'm surrounded with the greatest love
It's like, standing in a crowded room
Full of all your peers...
Then suddenly, all attention is on you,
On you, on you, on you, you, you
They all think you're the best
The coolest kid they know...
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my Jesus, my best friend
Suddenly I'm not so scared
I don't have anywhere to run
I'm clean again with nothing to hide
And it shows...
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my...
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my Jesus, my best friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's my Jesus
He's my best friend.
My Best Friend
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my Jesus, my best friend
Walking along the empty sands
No one to keep me safe
I turn to the stars
And ask God for a friend...
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my Jesus, my best friend
He ran to me, stopped me in my tracks
Took me in His arms, they were open wide
Saved me from myself
And all these evil thoughts...
No longer am I alone here
I'm surrounded with the greatest love
It's like, standing in a crowded room
Full of all your peers...
Then suddenly, all attention is on you,
On you, on you, on you, you, you
They all think you're the best
The coolest kid they know...
Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay

Jesus, He loves me forever and ever
By my side, that's where He'll stay
Holding my hand, keeping me strong
That's my Jesus, my best friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's my Jesus
He's my best friend.
