Today... 'Friend

This is my dear Friend and my Lover
who satisfies me like no other
and there is no other One for me
so altogether lovely is He

My Advocate and Intercessor.
His love is boundless without measure.
With words of sweetness and tender mercy
He pleads before the throne of God for me.

Jesus my Lord and Saviour from high
interprets to God the tears I cry.
I sing the praise of this Friend of mine
for He is the Man of God divine.
