This is a Southern Gospel type song. I wrote it while working as a receptionist in a Retirement Village, where there were many lonely people.
Check this out on Chirbit
He's A Friend
Shine his light in the darkness.
Let His love flow through you.
Jesus cares for the lonely and blue.
Share a smile filled with gladness.
Spread a word of good news.
There is one who is waiting for you.
He's a friend, true and faithful,
A friend by your side,
Speaking words that will lift spirits high.
God gives rest to the weary,
He gives strength to the weak,
Feeds the soul that is thirsty and dry.
Be a friend to the lonely,
Be a friend to the blue,
Lift them up to the Father in love.
Share a bouquet of flowers.
Spread a word of His truth.
Let the hope of the Lord
Shine through you.
He's a friend, true and faithful,
A friend by your side,
Speaking words that will lift spirits high.
God gives rest to the weary,
He gives strength to the weak,
Feeds the soul that is thirsty and dry.
Jesus cares for His children.
Jesus cares for the lost.
Spread good news of the gospel to all.
He's a friend even closer
Than a brother to you,
For He loves you with His perfect love.
He's a friend, true and faithful,
A friend by your side,
Speaking words that will lift spirits high.
God gives rest to the weary,
He gives strength to the weak,
Feeds the soul that is thirsty and dry.

Hello, this is Yoli. I want to sincerely thank you for recently posting comment on my old blog, Apron of the Month Club. Your words of faith and encouragement are very special to me especially with our sudden relocation news and increased stress.
The company I work for is relocating my job to a new city by January 1st. I also co-own an online boutique with my sister Jessica, and we have decided to professionally seek solo creative directions. So, I am opening up a new online boutique and new blog. I look forward to God opening new doors. My kids and are excited about new adventures.
Please know that I read each and every comment you post. They are my inspiration and confirmation of God’s love. Please add me to your list of blogs that you follow.
God Bless You!

Cathy,
What a blessing to have the talent to create and play such music! I thought it was beautiful:) thank you for coming over and saying hello on my blog today! You made my day!
Apron Senorita, Thank you for visiting today.
Terri, Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I'm glad you liked my music.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours :)
You are one talented gal. Praise God for songwriters who touch our hearts and souls.
Thank you so much, Mary.
Cathy, the song you wrote is beautiful...I love the melody and the lyrics...you are so right, so many lonely people. When I think of those in nursing homes, my heart breaks.
I wanted to tell you that I clicked on "play full song", and it took me to a page that wasn't the greatest for viewers to see, so I went back and just clicked on the play arrow, and was able to listen and read the words at the same time. I don't know anything about how these playlists operate, but just wanted you to know so you could check it out.
God bless,
Mary
