CELTIC CHRISTIAN

LYRIC SAMPLE: "FRIEND OF MINE"

ABUSE WAS DONE HEAVILY,
THE SPIRIT UNKIND,
THAT LEFT YOU UNHAPPILY,
THAT LEFT YOU BEHIND;

THEY LEFT YOU WITH NO HOPE,
THEY LEFT YOU__ BLIND,
NEEDING NOBODY,
NEEDING NO SIGN.

SO A RICH MAN YOU USE,
AND ANOTHER THAT WAS KIND,
THE KIND ONE FOR MONEY,
THE RICH ONE FOR WINE;

NOW THE YEARS LEFT YOU RUNNING,
FOR YOUR RUNNING OUT OF TIME
AND NOW YOU ARE LONELY,
AND NO LOVE TO FIND.

(Ch.)
JESUS STILL LOVES YOU,
IF YOU ARE INCLINE,
HE’S STILL YOUR FRIEND,
AT THE END OF THE LINE;

GIVE HIM A CHANCE,
AND THEN YOU WILL FIND,
NO BETTER FRIEND,
THAN THIS FRIEND OF MINE.

MY FRIEND WILL GUIDE YOU,
WHEN YOU CANNOT FIND,
HE’LL BRING YOU STRENGTH,
IN THESE ARMS OF MINE;

THROUGH CHRIST YOU SEE,
LOVE YOU SOUGHT TO FIND,
I’LL___ BE YOURS
YOU CAN BE MINE.

(V. 2)
AS YOU GROW OLDER,
YOU’RE LACKING THE SPINE,
SO YOU NEED TO KNOW,
THIS FRIEND OF MINE;

HE’LL BRING YOU STRENGTH,
TILL THE END OF TIME,
YOU TRULY CAN TRUST,
THIS FRIEND OF MINE.

(Ch.)
JESUS STILL LOVES YOU,
IF YOU ARE INCLINE,
HE’S STILL YOUR FRIEND,
AT THE END OF THE LINE;

GIVE HIM A CHANCE,
AND THEN YOU WILL FIND,
NO BETTER FRIEND,
THAN THIS FRIEND OF MINE.

MY FRIEND WILL GUIDE YOU,
WHEN YOU CANNOT FIND,
HE’LL BRING YOU STRENGTH,
IN THESE ARMS OF MINE;

THROUGH CHRIST YOU SEE,
LOVE YOU SOUGHT TO FIND,
I’LL___ BE YOURS
YOU CAN BE MINE.

(Tag)
THROUGH CHRIST YOU SEE,
LOVE YOU SOUGHT TO FIND,
I’LL___ BE YOURS
YOU CAN BE MINE.
