Friends (Robert Thiessen)
They say I never should have made it
And that mom she was so young
I wouldn’t know I can’t remember
She gave me up when I was one
So many homes so many problems
I always put the blame on me
Thinking that it must be my fault
Cause I was never meant to be
Then it all changed one summer night
I heard about Jesus for the first time
And let me tell you about these friends of mine
They said they loved me
No one had ever said they loved me
Now…..
Chorus
I am a life that’s been changed
I am a soul that’s been saved
Servants answering the call
Choosing God above it all
Willing vessels pouring out
Cast aside all fear and doubt
Showing love until the end
Let me tell you about my friends
I can’t believe I finally made it
I can’t believe that I’m the one
20 children call me teacher
The school year has just begun
I always thought I was a failure
How I could never change the world?
How could someone so inadequate
make a difference for the Lord?
Then it all changed one summer night
I told a child about Jesus for the first time
And let me tell you about these friends of mine
they said they trust me
No had ever said they trusted me
And…..
Repeat Chorus
It’s not something that’s measured by numbers or years
By the blisters or the teardrops and all the pain we feel down here
But only when we get to heaven and his glory is revealed
And another precious child of Jesus comes in singing through Heaven’s door
Saying…..
Repeat Chorus
