Closeness of Christ

"Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up" (Psalm 27:9,10). "There is a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24).

He's closer than the dearest one
We hold in our relation;
Than father, mother, daughter, son:
This God of our salvation.

He's closer than our sisters, brothers,
Or the dearest lifelong friends.
Jesus Christ, above all others,
Loves with love that never ends.
