Best Friend

He's my best friend

Aww but I didn't always know it

Ya know people would try to tell me

But I just wouldn't listen

I was just caught up in the world

Having a good time with my friends

But ya know

My woman was praying for me

You see she knew I was in trouble

Yeah and one day I was feeling real bad

And I turned to the people I thought were my friends

And you know I found out real soon

I didn't have any friends

And I started feeling real sorry for myself

I was filled with self pity

And ya know when you're filled with self pity

You're just as empty as you can be

And that was me

I was ragged

Jagged

Tattered and torn

I was filled with self pity

Ashamed and forlorn

The king of losers

Was my claim to fame

Yes loser was my middle name

Then one day

I heard someone speak of a friend

And his words were glowing and kind

And I thought to myself

I don't have a best friend

Not one name

Would come to my mind

Ohh ohh

But my eyes started raining

Ands the fire built up in my soul

The empty vessel I had become

Started filling to overflow

And the spirit of God

Spoke so clearly

My child

You are born again

You are born again

And I'm your best friend
