Best Friends

God’s my best friend, especially Jesus is,
He doesn’t take, He just knows how to give,
and so He gives me everything that’s His,
His love and life show how to love and live.

He took my littleness and came down here,
He taught by His example and His pain,
He gave up heaven so me he could be near,
my sinful weakness He did not disdain.

How He would do this is a mystery--
why leave His perfect happy home above,
except He saw the worth of little me,
and being love, desired to share His love.

O Best Friend Christ, as this I know is true,
I yearn in turn to be best friends with You.
