FRIEND OF MINE
I've known you for so long 
You are a friend of mine 
But is this all we'd ever be? 
I've loved you ever since 
You are a friend of mine 
But babe, is this all we ever could be? 

You tell me things I've never known 
I've shown you love you've never shown 
But then again, when you cry 
I'm always at your side 
You tell me 'bout the love you've had 
I listen very eagerly 
But deep inside you'll never see 
This feeling of emptiness 
It makes me feel sad 
But then again I'm glad

I've known you all my life 
You are a friend of mine 
I know this is how it's gonna be 
I've loved you then and I love you still 
You're a friend of mine 
Now, I know friends are all we ever could be 

You tell me things I've never known 
I've shown you love you've never shown 
But then again, when you cry 
I'm always at your side 
You tell me 'bout the love you've had 
And I listen very eagerly 
But deep inside you'll never see 
This feeling of emptiness 
It makes me feel sad 

But then again 
Then again 
Then again I'm glad



Friend of Mine

Look to Christ, to be your light. 
Follow. 
Leave behind your former self and live.
Don't look back.
Don't be afraid. 
Follow.
Come to Christ.
Walk with Christ and live.
