Three friends united
And in God's hands
Three become one
A cord of three strands

The world will bring sorrow
And dreams from the past
But their prayers will hold together
A bond that will last

For if one is sad
The two with her sorrow
For when hearts talk
Time waits till tomorrow
And from two loves
This one will borrow
For they share
Sorrow upon sorrow

And if one sees a star
The two with her dream
For a starlight's future
Waits to be seen
And if the future dims
Their eyes will still gleam
For they share
Dream upon dream

And if one has a burden
The two enter prayer
To offer their shoulders
For the load to bear
Love such as this
Is very rare
For they share
Prayer upon prayer

The joy and laughter
They can't replace
The time together
Years won't erase
The look of love
In each other's face
Just three little flowers
Together in God's vase

The steps of my past
Have broken me down
Into a wounded one
Never lost but found

Pain inflicted
Heaven knows why
Just temporary
So why do I cry

The night is here
And I cannot walk
But God is near
So we just talk

When the morning is new
I'll know where I stand
Lovingly held
In the palm of His hand

The path that lay before me
The road I must travel
The journey begins
God's mystery to unravel

A shield I have
When in Him I hide
Never alone
He is by my side

Carefully I step
As I start each new day
Even when other roads entice
May I never be led astray

For His way is perfect
Though the road may be rough
And though no one follow
Find life in His love

The road may be long
The journey might make you weak
But if you listen closely
A still small voice will speak

"My child, I know life is hard
And down the road you may not see
But just keep kneeling and walking
For the journey leads to Me

And though the path may bend
I still have a future plan
And when you see no purpose
Know I'm still in command

For My way is perfect
My grace enough
My strength able
My way is love

When you are near
My heart runs free
Into love's arms
Where you have me

When life is hard
Your love is soft
When you're away
I am lost
To be by your side
I'd pay any cost

Because you are
Easy to be near
Like a little fawn
To her mother deer
Come so close
And never fear
Hold me now
I am here

Together now
Our love is strong
Because we know
Who wrote our song

A love so deep
We can't understand
Yet so close
We feel His hand
Now hold our souls
As close as you can

For you are
Easy to be near
We are the little fawns
You are the mother deer
We'll come so close
And never fear
For You are always
Easy to be near

Time nor tear
Shall separate us
My dear
From Jesus who is
Nearer than here

When You are near
My heart runs free
Into Love's arms
Where You have me

Jonathan and David
No two greater friends
A love like no other
One heart for two men

One day destiny came
They could not stop the crisis
A decision had to be made
And each knew what the price was

Jonathan prayed
And found His Father's will
For he was quiet
And waited still

For David trusted Jonathan
With his own dear life
And Jonathan would rather die
Then let David suffer strife

So from His Father's will
Jonathan would give a sign
To let David know the way
And in his future find

"If I shoot an arrow
And on the ground it lay
And my boy finds it near
Then my brother you may stay

For peace is here
The crisis has passed
You and I are together
And our friendship will last

But if I shoot an arrow
So far my boy can't find
And I say 'Go beyond you'
Then my friend it is time

God must send you away
To a destiny unclear
I cannot join you
But never fear

For we are promised
From soul to son
And if I pass away
Take care of my little one

For boys shoot arrows
And men battle in war
But I'll never find a brother
I could love deeper more

So watch for the arrows
Wherever they land
But rest in your heart
It's all part of God's plan
