Faithful Friend

(앨범: Where I Stand - 1996)

[Twila Paris:]
Everyone knows you as a man of honor
I am glad to know you simply as a friend
You've always taken time to be my brother
And I'll be standing by you in the end

But I will never put you on a pedestal
I thank the Lord for everything you do
I'll be there to pray for you and for the ones you love
I believe that He will finish all he started in you.

I will be an open door that you can count on
Anywhere you are, anywhere you've been
I will be an honest heart you can depend on
I will be a faithful friend

[Steven Curtis Chapman:]
I am one of many whose path has been made clear
By the light you've carried faithfully as a warrior and a child
God has used you greatly to encourage and inspire
And you've remained a true friend all the while

So I will never put you on a pedestal
'Cause we both know all the glory is the Lord's
But I'll be there to pray that He will keep you by his grace
And I always will remind you to be seeking His face

[Both:]
I will be an open door that you can count on
Anywhere you are, anywhere you've been
I will be an honest heart you can depend on
I will be a faithful friend

[Twila Paris:]
Should there ever come a time to cry
I will weep with you
And every single time you win
I'm celebrating too
[Both:]
Oh, I will celebrate with you

I will be an open door that you can count on
Anywhere you are, anywhere you've been
I will be an honest heart you can depend on
I will be a faithful friend
[Steven Curtis Chapman:]
I will be faithful
[Twila Paris:]
Ooh, I will be a faithful friend
