Fairest Friend

"Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee" (Psalm 55:22). "A brother offended is harder to be won than a city, and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.... There is a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:19,24).

Cast your burden on the Lord,
And be assured it's not in vain.
Every heart to Him outpoured
In faithfulness He will sustain.

Even brothers are offended,
And every human love is flawed.
Fragile friendships soon are ended,
But this is not the case with God!

We thank You, Fairest of all friends,
For love that stood the strongest test,
For friendship now that never ends,
And for Your grace on which we rest!
