Lyrics
Verse 1
Grateful for the day that I found You
A love like this I never knew
I'm so very glad that You're in my life
You've gotta find this friend of mine
You are that man that would sacrifice
Spend all His time me
I've gotta tell it, I'm so overjoyed
It will last throughout eternity
Chorus
Seeking and I found someone to cry me
Never thought I'd find someone to die for me
Then I found You
Your love is true
You are my best friend
Seeking and I found a new friend
In who I know I can depend
Without You it's like no water in the desert sand
But with You I will never thirst again
Nobody will ever take Your place
No one could mean that much to me
Every void You filled in my life
If You see me rejoicing I am complete
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Your love is like a river flowing wide
Flowing like a peace and joy that lives inside
I've found the love that I've been searching for
It's growing daily, for I love You more and more
(There is no one that could take Your place)
Vamp
You're my best friend and I know it
Everyday You find a way to show it
You are the one
You're my best friend and I know it
Everyday You find a way to show it
You are the one for me

Meaning & Inspiration
Best Friend is a gospel praise song of gratitude for finding a friend in Jesus. The first verse says that the singer is grateful for the day of finding Him, that a love like this had never been known, and that He is a man who would sacrifice everything and spend all His time on the singer. The chorus describes seeking and finding someone to cry with and die for, and declares that His love is true and that He is the best friend.
The second part says that He is a friend who can be depended upon, since without Him life is like a desert without water but with Him there is no more thirst, and that nobody could take His place. The bridge compares His love to a river flowing wide and says the love grows daily. The themes follow Proverbs 18:24 on a friend closer than a brother, John 15:15 on Jesus calling His followers friends, and John 4:14 on never thirsting again. The vamp's repeated lines give it a warm, joyful tone.
