Best Friends till the End and Beyond.
What is truly a friend?
A friend who is loyal, truthful and kind,
Is someone who gives unconditional love
Given soulfully by the Lord, from Heaven above
A friend lasts forever, here and in Heaven.
May Jesus, the first friend we ever had,
Our true friend, to which I am heart fully glad,
Continue to bless you and me down here
And when we finally and permanently go home up there.

Chorus:

Best Friends till the End and Beyond
May we never say goodbye
Only say we will meet again, by and by
The Good Lord, Himself, sent me you.
And, He also made me your friend, too.

Main:

Best Friends till the End and Beyond
Loving each other is the main reason
A true friendship doesn't just last for one season
Trusting is one of the many ways for us to survive
For without friendship, humankind wouldn't stay alive
This is how and the only way a friendship can last
Think of the future and don't dwell on the past
Think of the many years a friend can be by your side.
A true friendship wouldn't make us feel ashamed,
And make us be cowards by running and hiding.

Chorus:

Best Friends till the End and Beyond
May we never say goodbye
Only say we will meet again, by and by
The Good Lord, Himself, sent me you.
And, He also made me your friend, too.

Main:

Oh, my friends from long ago, and even now
In so many words, may friendships never end
And stop being one without love and devotion
A friend's love for one another, is vast like the ocean.
The one true friend, the Word, Jesus, our Lord
Came down to earth to become man,
In order to be a friend, servant and Saviour
He saved us from Satan's snare and gave up His life
In order to make us His people and the church, His wife.
And for that, Jesus is our Best Friend till the end and beyond.

Chorus:

Best Friends till the End and Beyond
May we never say goodbye
Only say we will meet again, by and by
The Good Lord, Himself, sent me you.
And, He also made me your friend, too.

Main:

Because of Jesus who is 100 percent God
And 100 percent Man, He is with us now and forever.
May He bless us and keep us safely in the Palms of His Hands.
Because of Him, we can be friends without fear and dismay
For because of Him, we are saved, we have salvation
Finally, we have a Saviour to protect us and thus I pray
That all of the people out there shall see the day
When the Good Lord and Master, Himself appears
May we all bow and rejoice the coming of the King,
"For the kingdom of the Lord God, is at hand," I sing.

Chorus:

Best Friends till the End and Beyond
May we never say goodbye
Only say we will meet again, by and by
The Good Lord, Himself, sent me you.
And, He also made me your friend, too.
