When my understanding was zero or less than it should have been
When I was in need of a shoulder to lean on because lifes decisions just seemed wrong and I was in need of a non-judgmental ear to bend you were that friend

And again and again I'd come to you with something new
You who only required that I be true

To myself, to my feelings, to what I believed
To what I hoped to accomplish, strived to achieve

I couldnt come to you partial or fragmented and expect
The compassion I'd seek, but as I recollect

There was never a time you refused to be there for me
Were too busy couldnt be reached or just chose to ignore me

And because of who and what you are and have been
And continue to be, forever a friend

That sticks closer than a brother or any other, although I was hoping to find
Relief and revelation from a relatives mind

But finding out instead that those of whom
Titled brother or sister from my own mothers womb

Not only didnt seem to be concerned but being unlearned and inexperienced chose to close their minds at a time
When they were needed most, but later your face I'd find

And when I decided to trust in your words and in your instructions of what I should do
My faith in the hope of the truth in your words released the power of peace and now all praises due

So thank you my Lord and Savior
That regardless of my unruly behavior

Regardless of the fact that I'm unworthy you still
Chose to Love me and care for me so I surrender my will

I surrender my heart and my mind to renew
And for all you've done, if you never do anything else, my Brother, King, Lord of my life, my Friend Jesus Christ
God bless and Thank You!
