Everyone knows you as a man of honor

I am glad to know you simply as a friend

You’ve always taken

time to be my brother

And I’ll be standing by you in the end

But I will never put you on a pedestal

I thank the Lord for everything you do

I’ll be there to pray for you

and for the ones you love

I believe that He will finish

all He started in you

I will be an open

door that you can count on

Anywhere you are

anywhere you’ve been

I will be an honest

heart you can depend on

I will be a faithful friend

Oooo...

I am one of many

whose path has been made clearer

By the light you've carried faithfully

as a warrior and a child

God has used you greatly

to encourage and inspire

And you've remained a

true friend all the while

So I will never put you on a pedestal

'Cause we both know all

the glory is the Lord's

And I'll be there to pray that He

will keep you by His grace

And I always will remind you

to be seeking His face

I will be an open

door that you can count on

Anywhere you are

anywhere you’ve been

I will be an honest

heart you can depend on

I will be a faithful friend

Should it ever come your time to mourn

I will weep with you

And every single time you win

I'm celebrating too

I will celebrate with you

I will be an open

door that you can count on

Anywhere you are

anywhere you’ve been

I will be an honest

heart you can depend on

I will be a faithful friend

I will be faithful

Ooo... I will be a

faithful friend
