Remembering always, my Buddy...

You got to see Jesus first!
Buddy, Buddy, hand in hand
Together we’ve walked across this land
As foreigners among the living
Yet, all the while, children of our living King
We’ve seen and shared heartache and joy
Manna from Heaven - blessings both
To feed us day by every single day
Keeping the evil one at bay
Forever faithful to our King
Through toil and strife, we gleaned along the path of life
Searching, seeking, and finding, too, treasures untold
The kind, when measured, far surpass silver and gold
With this chest of highest treasure
Beyond all measure, full to overflowing
Our hearts burst forth with seeds for sowing
Reaping what was sown
We set our hearts to bind and mend
The broken parts of broken hearts
Even to find, at times, they were our own
Buddy, Buddy, hand in hand,
Together we’ve walked to the Promised Land
No more sorrow, no more pain
A land where peace and grace and healing reign
Though right beside us all along
At that right and perfect hour,
By His resurrection power
From there our King calls each by name
Come now, friend, and enter in
I’ve prepared a special place for you
The old is passed and left behind
All things now and forever new
