Friendship

Sometimes we have a friend with whom we are comfortable. We can call them up and talk about nothing. We can sit with them and not have any words at all. I want to be the kind of friend that others would call at the end of the day just to talk about nothing. I want that kind of friendship with Jesus. Wouldn’t that be something.

Wouldn’t That Be Something
(Words and music by Wayne Watson)

I had this dream and You were in it
There was this party and You were there
Simple evening with just a few close friends
People were pressing for Your attention
You were patient, everybody could see
But all the time You were lookin’ round the room for me
But hey, after all, it’s my dream

I wanna be the kind of friend that Jesus would call
Yeah, you know if He had a telephone
At the end of the day
Just to talk about nothin’, nothing’
Yeah, I wanna be the kind of friend He’d wanna be around
You know without a word, without a sound
Wouldn’t that be somethin’, somethin’, yeah

Is that so hard to imagine
The Lord Jesus as a friend like that
Spending time in the pleasure of your company
True companion like no other
You never had a friend like this
If you’re havin’ a little trouble believing
Come on, put yourself in my dream

I wanna be the kind of friend that Jesus would call
Yeah, you know if He had a telephone
At the end of the day
Just to talk about nothin’, nothing’
Yeah, I wanna be the kind of friend He’d wanna be around
You know without a word, without a sound
Wouldn’t that be somethin’, somethin’, yeah

Wouldn’t that be somethin’, somethin’, yeah*

John 15:15 (NLT)
I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
