Forever and For Always

for a friend who lost her best friend

When you don't know what to say,

What's the best thing you can do?

I've tried everything.

Well maybe not exactly everything.

I wish I could know you more.

But I don't want to invade your life.

What's private is yours

Ha, I feel a little song coming on.

I wish I could share

What you're going through.

At least do something to let you know I care.

Will anything ease the pain?

What can I do?

Want to talk? “Take Me There.”

What's the worst that could happen

After the worst has already happened?

I know she was special.

Hey, she still is.

But guess what?

You are too.

Because she is you are

And because you are, she is.

The times you've spent making each other special

Is time well spent.

I wish I could have known her

Because knowing you has helped me understand

The hell on earth of losing your right hand.

Makes me jealous

Wish I had one

A bestie to love forever

And to be loved forever.

Is it me, or is this just a girl thing?

Can guys be married to their best friend?

Not that I would want to be.

That would cause problems where I come from.

So I can't go to sleep

But I don't want to creep

I can't anyways cause the server's down.

So much for getting up for the sunrise

Guess I should go close my eyes.

Anyways thanks for the bit you have let me in on.

And don't let me pressure you into anything else

Besties are besties for a reason.

But any time I get on,

I think, I thank, I pause, I pray

For God to be real to me, to you,

Knowing what you've been through.

For the joy that was will be

Forever and for always face to face.

And the love for others you've inspired in me

May I pass on to help others see

That life is too short not to be happy.

Because when you're not happy,

Everyone knows, but if you're never mad

Then the only thing you have to worry about

Is if you remembered to tie your shoelaces.

Cause everybody notices that for some reason.

And when you think to be mad

It's like slapping God in the face.

Why do you want Him to drop you?

For all the good He's given,

For all the blood He's shed.

Through thick and thin,

Through trials and sin,

You may not see

Him bow His own knee

Asking you to love, to trust, to lean.

He wants to pour down like rain.

So instead of seeing the sun as a cloud,

How about seeing clouds as the Son.

Because He wants you to trust,

He will settle the dust Himself.

Though it may seem long

In the end you'll both be singing

Like angels

For ever and for always.
