BEST FRIEND

I COME BEFORE YOUR THRONE EACH AND EVERY DAY
FALL DOWN UPON MY KNEES AND CRY FOR MERCY
KEEP LOOKING FOR THE GLORY, THE GLORY OF YOU IN ME
IT'S SO HARD, HARD FOR ME TO SEE

YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE WORKING YOUR PLAN IN MY LIFE
GOT ME ON THAT PATH TO GLORY, A PATH THAT LEADS TO LIGHT
KEEP TAKING AN INVENTORY; I TRY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT
IT'S SO HARD, BEGINNING TO SEE SOME DAYLIGHT

I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING MY BEST FRIEND
I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING MY, MY VERY BEST FRIEND
I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING A GOOD FRIEND TO ME
NEVER HAD ONE, ONE LIKE YOU... THANK YOU
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU

I HAD PEOPLE WHO SEEMED TO CARE FOR ME
I HAD MANY, MANY, MANY WHO I CALLED FAMILY
I HAD MANY WHO SEEMED TO COME FROM THE VERY SAME TREE
BUT NONE TREATED ME LIKE YOU DO

I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING MY BEST FRIEND
I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING MY, MY VERY BEST FRIEND
I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING A GOOD FRIEND TO ME
NEVER HAD ONE, ONE LIKE YOU... THANK YOU
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU

EACH AND EVERY MORNING AS I RISE UP OUT OF BED
THINK ABOUT THE DREAMS YOU GAVE ME AND ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID
HOW THERE WOULD BE BEFORE ME, BE A TABLE SPREAD
AND I'D BE THERE, BE THERE WITH THE GODHEAD

I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING MY BEST FRIEND
I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING MY, MY VERY BEST FRIEND
I WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING A GOOD FRIEND TO ME
NEVER HAD ONE, ONE LIKE YOU... THANK YOU
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD
NEVER HAD ONE, ONE LIKE YOU... THANK YOU
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
THANK YOU LORD
