My Friend

Reach for my call
When you see me  fall
Let's grow together high and tall
Our strength in the All in All

When in need
Be my friend indeed…

Oil my palms
Let it not look like alms
When sad , sing me psalms
Your correction, let it heal safety 
from harms

On this journey, too weak and
cold
Let not your hands fold
Miracles lie amidst your hold
We are partners on the road

When you are gone
Let love so much borne
A fire that heals and ill-burns

And as each day comes anew
Let brotherly love continue.
