More than somebody who tells me I’m right. Somebody who helps me walk in the light. A friend who loves when the hard days come— And points me back to the Holy One. When the celebration fades away, And the crowd has nothing left to say, Will you sit beside me in the rain? Will you help me call upon His name? A friend loves through adversity, More than words or loyalty to me. When my feet forget the narrow road, Speak His truth and help me bear the load. Give me wisdom over flattery, Love that tells the truth to me. Let the words we speak be kind, With the heart of Christ in mind. Iron sharpens iron, let us grow, Help each other walk the way He showed. When one falls down, let the other reach, Live the love we say that we believe. Through the trouble, through the test, A faithful friend keeps seeking what is best. With His Word to guide what we do, Let me be that kind of friend to you. Keep a confidence, refuse the lie, Don’t let whispers turn our hearts aside. When somebody’s name becomes the news, Let us guard the words we choose. Faithful counsel may be hard to hear, But love can speak it gently, clear. Give me courage when correction’s due, And a humble heart to hear it too. Let me walk with those who seek Godly wisdom, hearts made meek. May our friendship bear good fruit, Rooted in Your love and truth. Iron sharpens iron, let us grow, Help each other walk the way He showed. When one falls down, let the other reach, Live the love we say that we believe. Through the trouble, through the test, A faithful friend keeps seeking what is best. With His Word to guide what we do, Let me be that kind of friend to you. Jesus, You have shown the greatest love, Laid Your life down willingly for us. You have called Your followers friends; Teach us to obey what You command. Love each other as You first loved us, Serve each other when the road gets rough. Not just promises we sing— Make us faithful in the little things. Before I ask who’s standing next to me, Lord, shape the kind of friend I’ll be. Quick to listen, slow to speak, Strong enough to help the weak. Give me wisdom with my trust, Keep my heart from bitterness. Help me love and still discern, Keep me willing, Lord, to learn. Iron sharpens iron, let us grow, Help each other walk the way He showed. When one falls down, let the other reach, Live the love we say that we believe. Through the trouble, through the test, A faithful friend keeps seeking what is best. With His Word to guide what we do, Let me be that kind of friend to you. A friend who loves through every season, Speaks the truth with gentle care. Lord, when someone needs a faithful friend, Help me be there.
