Our Dearest Friend

As we walk by faith and grace,
Sometimes God will hide His face.

Allowing Satan to have his fling,
But his darts have lost their sting.

We will not falter nor fear,
Knowing that Christ is always near.

The One who is faithful to the end,
He is our dearest Friend.

He will be with us in the fight,
He will conquer in His might.

We may be persecuted but not cast down,
But some day we will wear a crown.

Look to Jesus, He'll see you through.
He has promised, "I'll never leave you."
