Friend of God
Based on John 15:15; Act 17:26-27; Jeremiah 9:24
No longer will I call you servants again,
instead I now call you my friends.
For servants know nothing of their master’s plan —
I’ve shown what my father intends.
From one man created to one human race
I’ve given your children the earth.
And I have appointed their season and place —
selecting the time of their birth.
The world was created with your heart in mind
no matter whoever you are;
in order that one day you’ll seek me and find
that never am I very far.
If bragging, acknowledge my truth as your boast —
my fairness and justice and love.
For these are the things that will please me the most —
of which I cannot get enough.
