"Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy... Our soul waiteth for the LORD: He is our help and our shield" (Psalm 33:18,20). "Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel... Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend" (Proverbs 27:9,17). "Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart" (2 Timothy 2:22).
There
is a fellowship of friends  
The
Spirit of the Lord imparts 
With
unity His love extends   
To
knit together kindred hearts.  
The
Lord has been our Help and Shield, 
And
in His counsel we rejoice 
By
which we're sharpened and are healed 
As
we obey our Savior's voice.  
We
flee from former youthful lusts 
With
which we once had been enticed, 
And
join with everyone who trusts 
And
worships our Lord Jesus Christ.  
O
Lord, we pray You will equip 
Our
hearts with grace to show Your love 
In
friendship and in fellowship 
On
earth like heaven does above.
