Faithful Friend - Twila Paris, Steven Curtis Chapman

Everyone knows you as a man of honor

I am glad to know you simply as a friend

You’ve always taken time to be my brother

And I’ll be standing by you in the end

But I will never put you on a pedestal

I thank the Lord for everything you do

I’ll be there to pray for you and for the ones you love

I believe that He will finish all He started in you

I will be an open door that you can count on

Anywhere you are, anywhere you’ve been

I will be an honest heart you can depend on

I will be a faithful friend

I am one of many whose path has been made clearer

By the light you’ve carried faithfully as a warrior and a child

God has used you greatly to encourage and inspire

And you’ve remained a true friend all the while

So I will never put you on a pedestal

'Cause we both know all the glory is the Lord’s

And I’ll be there to pray that He will keep you by His grace

And I always will remind you to be seeking His face

I will be an open door that you can count on

Anywhere you are, anywhere you’ve been

I will be an honest heart you can depend on

I will be a faithful friend

Should it ever come your time to mourn

I will weep with you

And every single time you win

I’m celebrating too

I will celebrate with you

I will be an open door that you can count on

Anywhere you are, anywhere you’ve been

I will be an honest heart you can depend on

I will be a faithful friend, I will be faithful

I will be a faithful friend
