God has given Lisa
A unique gift of friendship
A sensitive nature, intelligent mind
But best trait of all
Is her zest for life
And the get-up-and-go I'm now learning to find
She has such a depth
Both vulnerable & strong
Has many good friends, knows how to have fun
But her loving heart
Deserves only the best
A man after God's own heart, nothing less
It might seem so strange
That one who's so young
Has been such an influence & blessing to me
But I'm thanking god
That she came my way
And God had it planned that our friendship should be
Sunday, June 1
Little did I know
Little did I know
When first I felt your touch
That what you love most
Is to bless us oh so much
Continually surpassing all
expectation of your faithfulness to us
Your word has shown this is true
But still I underestimate
Your power & your grace
My character you change
As you reveal in me
An unexpected, precious honesty
An instrumental part
Of this softening of my heart
Has been the closer friends
That in your love you sent
So loving & so true
To help me in my life & walk with you
When first I felt your touch
That what you love most

An unexpected, precious honesty
An instrumental part
Of this softening of my heart
Has been the closer friends
That in your love you sent
So loving & so true
To help me in my life & walk with you
Kiri
I'm going to give you a new kind of friend
With a loving heart & a listening ear
You can't comprehend the blessing she'll be
To you; I know your needs you see
This friend will be one of a few that you'll find
And I'll send them to you at just the right time
But Kiri - she is so special to me
With her true self-awareness & brave honesty
Yes in some ways she's different from you; yet she
Still understands what you've been through
She too has her own struggles & fears
And - like you - turns to me in her tears
She has no idea of what I have yet in store
For her, in this life & the one still to come,
But I'm using already her gifts & her flaws
In the work of my Kingdom, to honour my son
With a loving heart & a listening ear
You can't comprehend the blessing she'll be
To you; I know your needs you see
This friend will be one of a few that you'll find
And I'll send them to you at just the right time

Lord, she's so brave
Determined to waive
Her life choices in favour of yours,
Whatever the cost,
Despite what she's already lost
She's trusting in you,
Even when going through
Painful or life-changing trials;
She's been through the fire,
Still I see you in her smile
Sometimes she struggles
With having to give up
Those desires long grown in her heart,
But she's known from the start,
Her best is what's close to your heart.
I know she prays
That she'll always stay
Close by you, where she longs to be.
She's so precious to you, can she see?
She's been such a blessing to me.
