The subject of friendship (as in the nature of) has been coming up in my correspondence of late. Here is a song from the Gaither Vocal Band's tape, Southern Classics, Volume II, that says a lot of what I think is important. It certainly reflects the kinds of friends I choose, as well as the kind I try to be. Sorry I could not find a sound clip.

COUNT ON ME

Words by Suzanne Gaither Jennings
Music by William J. Gaither, Guy Penrod, David Huntsinger, and Woody Wright.

I may not have the answers
To the questions you will face.
I may not be the one to drive away your fear.
My list of imperfections is too long to erase,
But you have my word, I will be here.

CHORUS:

Count on me
In this world of shifting sand.
Count on me
When you need a steady hand.
I will work and pray,
Mean what I say,
And live unselfishly.
Right the wrong,
Standing strong,
You can count on me.

Lord I know sometimes it seems
There's not much I can do
I'm not a hero or a name...
But I'm a house upon a rock
When I rely on You.
A constant friend
Whose promise will not change.

CHORUS

(c) 1996 Townsend and Warbucks Music and Gaither Music Company

I just bought an older Gaither CD last night at a Guy Penrod concert with the song on it "Count On Me". Is that Guy singing the second verse? Wow, what singing!
