JOHN 15:9-17
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
We’ve shared all the laughter and sometime you dried all my tears
You stood close beside me and held me when good times turned bad
I need you to know you're the best friend that I've ever had
Together we've laughed as we walked hand in hand in the rain
All the good times we've had comes back to my memory again
Now as the years pass they're turning from silver to gold
I pray we will share them together as we're growing old
You're my best friend the one friend I know will be there come what may
You're the one I depend on the one friend I turn to each day
So if sometimes I hurt you and the things that I say makes you sad
Remember I love you and you're the best friend that I've ever had
You're my best friend the one friend I know will be there come what may
You're the one I depend on the one friend I turn to each day
So if sometimes I hurt you and the things that I say makes you sad
Remember I love you and you're the best friend that I've ever had
Remember I love you and you're the best friend that I've ever had
...Victor, I wish you a peaceful spring Sunday.

I miss hearing the singing, but as I read I came to this at the end:
ReplyDeleteSo if sometimes I hurt you and the things that I say makes you sad

I agree, Jack; these are powerful lyrics.
DeleteGod bless you and yours always.
What cheerful and uplifting tunes ... so perfect for a Sunday in May. I've not heard these songs before, but appreciate you introducing them to us!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mevely. Every so often I come across some songs with wonderful (prayer) lyrics. Like the first song by Mike Denver.
DeleteGod bless you and your family.
Great gospel songs, Victor!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your continued prayers for Danny, too. It looks like he won't be released from the hospital until Wednesday at the earliest. I'll try to post an update on Tuesday.
Blessings always!
I'm praying that Danny is back home on Wednesday and on his way to full recovery. God bless you both, Martha, and your family too.
DeleteHe's the best Friend anyone could ever have.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Mimi. God bless you.
