I asked....

I asked the Lord to send a friend. 
One chosen just for me.
I prayed for you before we met, 
Not knowing who you'd be.
I asked that they'd be Godly, 
With wisdom of His ways. 
A friend to help and guide me 
In the troubles of these days. 

So often in life, we need someone 
To listen while we talk. 
Someone who will not condemn or judge, 
But encourage us as we walk. 

The narrow road we choose to follow 
May sometimes make us stumble. 
But to have a friend to catch our fall, 
Teaches us to be humble. 

When I asked the Lord to send a friend, 
Though many came and went. 
He gave much more than I ever asked, 
For you are the friend He sent
