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
And I will never put you on a pedestal
And I thank the Lord for everything you do
I'll be there to pray for you and for the ones you love
I believethat 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 that you can depend on,
I will be a faithful friend.

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
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
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 that 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 that you can depend on,
I will be a faithful friend.

Iwill be faithful...I will be a faithful friend.
