🎶 Lyrics: "The Friend Who Found Me – A Love Deeper Than Death"

[Verse 1 – soft, almost like breathing a prayer]
Before the mountains were born,
Before the oceans learned to roar,
You knew my name.
You loved me still.
(Psalm 90:2 / Jeremiah 1:5)

You shaped me in secret places,
You wrote Your longing in my bones.
You sang over me songs of mercy,
When I had no voice to sing them home.
(Psalm 139:15-16 / Zephaniah 3:17)

[Verse 2 – growing, but still tender]
I wandered far with broken feet,
Bruised by thorns I chose to keep.
Yet You pursued — through wasteland ways,
You called me friend when I hid my face.
(Luke 15:4-6 / Isaiah 53:6)

You laid down glory for my grave,
You traded thrones for splintered shame.
You knelt beneath my heavy skies,
And carried all my fading light.
(John 15:13 / Isaiah 53:4-5)

[Chorus – whispered first, then stronger]
You are the Friend who bled and stayed,
The Shepherd who found me in the rain.
You wore my ruin, You bore my chains,
You are the Friend who speaks my name.
(John 10:11 / Revelation 2:17)

[Verse 3 – broken, healing]
When fathers fail and mothers fall,
When kingdoms tremble and night grows tall,
Still You are near — nearer than breath,
My Friend, my Savior, Life from death.
(Psalm 27:10 / Romans 8:38-39)

Your hands, scarred deep, hold me still,
Your voice calls soft through whip and hill,
"Beloved, chosen, child, arise —
You are My joy, My heart, My prize."
(Isaiah 49:16 / Zechariah 2:8 / Ephesians 1:4-5)

[Bridge – softer, almost weeping]
("No longer do I call you servant,
But I call you friend.")
("All that the Father has given Me,
I have given to you in the end.")
(John 15:15 / John 17:22)

("I stand at the door and knock still,
I stand at the door and knock still.")
("If you hear My voice, and open your soul,
I will come in... and make you whole.")
(Revelation 3:20)

[Final Chorus – rising like light breaking through clouds]
You are the Friend who wore my grave,
The Shepherd who sings my name in flames.
You took my ruin, You bore my chains,
You are the Friend — You never change.
(Hebrews 13:8 / Romans 5:8)

[Outro – soft, holy hush]
Before I chose You,
You chose me.
Before I loved You,
You loved me.
Forever, O Friend,
You will be.
(John 15:16 / 1 John 4:19 / Psalm 136:1)
