you will be one,
unbroken,
complete,
joined,
and united to forever?

radiance,
gladness,

splendor,
rapture,
exaltation,
devotion,
adoration
and glory
just fills you up to overflowing?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend whose providence
and divine intervention
will care for you
even when you do not
have the will to care for yourself?
Do you have a friend that
has established the foundations of Heaven and Earth
and who in His power sustains all things?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend to whom you are
so precious,
cherished
and irreplaceable
that he has spilled His blood just for you?
is a love that is endless,
infinite,
boundless
and without measure?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend that can bare
your burdens,

and heartbreak within you?
Well, I do.

rest and companionship like no other?

to live and breath within you?
and whose smile upon you
is more beautiful than the golden rays of summer?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend who
plants His seed within you,
by the streams of life giving water?
and that promises you
that for no good,
true,

and Godly thing,
will you ever thirst or hunger?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend
whose dear embrace
does bring to you a joy
both all surpassing and eternal?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend that promises,
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

loving,
lovely,
holy,
righteous,
gracious,
tender
and compassionate?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend in whom you abide
and to whom you belong
and to whom you would lay down
and entrust your own life?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend who is worthy,
worthy of all your praise,
worthy of all your worship,
worthy of all your admiration,
worthy of all your adoration,
worthy of all your celebration,
worthy of all your love,
worthy of all your heart,
mind,
body,
and soul
worthy above all?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend who is the very wonder,
esteem,
awe,
cornerstone,
author
and bread of life?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend who shed His blood,
tasted death
and suffered infinitely
in the penalty of your sin
upon a wooden cross
just for you,
so that you would not have to?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend
that from the curse of death and sin
in God’s glory and in victory
for you rose again?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend whose sovereign right,
rule,
authority,
being
and integrity
over all creation reigns supreme?
Well, I do.
Do you have a friend whose every word
is truly the Word of life!
Well I do.
Do you have a friend who knows all,
sees all
and whom without,
you and I simply could not be?
Well, I do.
All of us,
we are only because He is.
He is the Great I Am
and His name is above all names.
There is no one before or after Him
and His precious name
is that of the most holy One,
Alpha and Omega,
beginning and end,
God’s beloved Son, Jesus, my friend.
