God Grant, You Always Call Me Friend

God grant, you always call me friend, If heaven's real, this truth descend Like dove returns to Noah's ark, A fire gets lit by kindred spark! All life then flows by gravity, To merge with love eternally. In blooming may our lives preserve God's will indeed, not lose our nerve, Surrender hope to enmity, Our love survive (though both are free!) Life's meaning found in serving Lord, All other paths revealed untoward. I share your yoke, and you share mine! Your dreams? Forever Valentine, A gift that I hold to my breast Where in my heart you're 'treasured' guest. Oh, count the stars that paint night's sky And feel love's depth, there's no goodbye!
