You Call Me Friend

 

O, Light that lighteth every man,

O, Bread that feeds us all -

 O, Holy One from the heart of the Father,

before You I stand in awe.

 

The great I Am, the Eternal Word,

the Beginning and the End -

how can You share Your heart with me

and choose to call me Your friend?

 

I come before You,

lay my dreams, my life at Your feet

not looking back, eyes ever forward,

at home in Your love, at home in Your arms

because You choose to call me -

You called me Your friend.

 

You, who can do anything,

whose breath gives life to all,

whose hand crafts the tiniest eyelash -

before You I humbly fall.

 

O, King of Kings, El Shaddai,

whose word makes all things new,

how can You share your heart with me

and choose to call me Your friend?

 

I bow before You,

lay my dreams, my life before Your throne

not looking back, eyes ever forward,

at home in Your love, at home in Your arms

because You choose to call me -

the King of the Universe calls me -

You call me
Your friend.
