Proud to Be Your Friend

If I offered you a simple sort of kindness
And if I made you feel a little like a friend
You would give me every reason
To believe that I am helping
To make your life a little easier in the end

If I reached out my hand in your direction
And though you'd realize Somebody really cared
And if we could see each other
Through the eyes of the One who loves us
I'd cherish every moment that we share

'Cause I'm so proud to be your friend
To share this part of life we have together
And in that day that has no end
I hope that you'll be standing by my side
I hope that we'll be standing side by side

If I treated you just like you were my brother
Just to help you with the heaviness you bear
And if I can always know
That you're the one that I can turn to
Just to share with you a worry or a care

Then I'd take the time to try and understand you
If I could feel your heart as if it were my own
And if you and I together
Build a love that lasts forever
I'll have a friend I'll always call my own

'Cause I'm so proud to be your friend
To share this part of life we have together
And in that day that has no end
I hope that you'll be standing by my side

Yes, I'm so proud to be your friend
To share this part of life we have together
And in that day that has no end
I know that you'll be standing by my side
I know that you'll be standing by my side

'Cause you're my friend
I thank God for you, my friend
