I
Every time I see you
I hang my head in shame
For all the selfish seasons
The times I was to blame

But you look back with love
A picture drawn of grace
Your friendship given freely
A smile on your face

Charity suffers long
The scriptures say; it's true
Charity is faithful
It's been lived out in you

II
A blessing I ask on friends so dear
When I need them they are near
To join in laughter or dry a tear
I know they will be here

Adventures shared and stories told
Of days gone by, friends brave and bold
Treasures cannot be bought or sold
Our memories never grow old

I thank God for close-knit hearts
A bonded love formed from the start
Not made of conversational art
May we never be torn apart
