I love reading stories in the Bible about people who were great friends, like, Jonathon and David or Ruth and Naomi. True Christian friendship stands the test of time and refuses to let your brother/sister stumble far. A good friend stands beside and encourages the other person always. Here are 12 songs that deal with friendships with each other and with Jesus. Enjoy!
12. More Than You’ll Ever Know, Watermark
Favorite Lyric – “Something about just being with you When I leave I feel like I've been near God And that's the way it ought to be, yeah.”
11. Brothers In Arms, Mumsdollar

9. The Last Night, Skillet
Favorite Lyric – “This is the last night you'll spend alone. Look me in the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere you want me to be. The last night you'll spend alone, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go. I'm everything you need me to be.”

3. By Your Side, Tenth Avenue North
Favorite Lyric – “Look at these hands at my side. They swallowed the grave on that night when I drank the world's sin, so I could carry you in and give you life. I want to give you life.

1. God Gave Me You, Dave Barnes
This is my all-time favorite song about friendship. I decided to put all of the lyrics in this one. It is such a beautiful song!
I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
There's more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel, lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
On my own I'm only half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together and what love has tethered
I could never undo
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
Gave me you
Gave me you
