The Friend I Know

I know Christ is my brother and my friend,
I know He is my savior and my strength,
and yet there's no together day we spend,
not seeing Him, it seems we're at arms length.

And yet I see Him in His Eucharist,
each day I can receive Him in my heart,
His blood and body by my lips are kissed,
in many ways, we never are apart.

I know by faith that He is always near,
I know by faith He's with me when I pray,
I know by faith He dries my every tear,
If I keep faith, with me He'll always stay.

So just because my Friend I cannot see,
still by my faith I know he's friends with me.
