I have a friend who’s very dear.
I tell her all my hopes.
And she in turn confides in me,
she tells me all her doubts.

Alas, one day my friend fell ill.
her world turned upside down.
Her life became a nightmare,
her face put on a frown.

Each night and day, her problems grew,
she knew not where to turn.
Day after day, her family anew
stood by, full of concern.

She came to the stage where no one could
Help, and she felt all alone
Who could she turn to in her time of grief.
when would the nightmare be gone?

I said to her,’ Do not despair, all would
come out well in the end.
Although at the moment you’re still in the dark,
You can call on my SPECIAL FRIEND.

He will listen to her prayers, you know.
though not answered straight away.
I know that with His healing hands,
He will take all care away!

So persevere my friend, each day,
and you will find, ‘quite soon’
The Lord will give you peace of mind,
and bring you from your gloom.
