Closest Friend

I have wasted too much time
Doing my own thing
But right now I realize
That you are my closest friend
Day and every night
You were right there
By my side
Lord I thank you
For you are me closest friend
You are my closest friend
I used to think
I could make it on my own
Until that day
I found myself all alone, oh yes
That's when you showed me
Of how much you cared, ooh Lord
When there was no one there
You were there for me, yeah

Lord you loved me
(Lord you loved me)
In a special way
(In a special way)
When I pray
(When I pray)
Every night
You proved your love
For me
I see
You have been so grateful

You are my closest friend
You've been someone
I could lean on, yeah yeah
You are my closest friend
Everyone that wanted
To hurt me Lord
You were right there by my side
You are my closest friend
When I needed a friend
You were to let me in, oh my my
You are my closest friend
He's a friend
Like there's no other
He's closer than a brother
You are my closest friend
It's soothing to know
That you're there by my side
Whenever I call
You are my closest friend
