Lord I lift my friend to You
I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend, to You
Complicated circumstances
with clouded his view
Lord I lift my friend up to You
I fear that I won't have the words
that he needs to hear
I pray for Your wisdom, oh God
And a heart that's sincere
Lord I lift my friend up to You
Lord I lift my friend to You
My best friend in the world
I know he means much more to You
I'd like so much to help him, but
this is something he has to do
Lord I lift my friend up to You
There's a way that seems so right to him
But You know where that leads
He's becoming a puppet of the world
Too blind to see the strain
Lord I lift my friend up to You
My Friend up to You
Lord I lift my friend to You
I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend, to You
