IT TAKES WORK

IT TAKES SOME WORK TO MAKE A FRIEND

TO CULTIVATE THE LOVE;

IT HELPS TO HAVE A GIVING HEART

AND GUIDANCE FROM ABOVE.

THEN LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY WITH IT,

HE'LL FORM A STRONGER TIE,

HE'LL MAKE A FRIEND WHO'S THERE FOR YOU,

WHO'S ALWAYS STANDING BY.

HE'LL LEAD YOU SURELY AS YOU TREAD

EACH PATH THE FRIENDSHIP TAKES,

AND IN THE FUTURE YOU WILL KNOW

THE BEST ARE THOSE HE MAKES...
