Lyrics
Unexpected Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the dark closes in so hard
I can hardly see
And the walls of my fortress of faith
Crumble in on me
When it seems like the end
Not a measure of strength to spend
I feel the arms of a stranger rescue me
When it seems like the end
Not a measure of strength to spend
I feel the arms of a stranger rescue me
Chorus:
With some unexpected friends
Never asking where I've been
Just a hand of mercy and words of love
Call me back again
Oh, it feels like home
With unexpected friends
A soothing balm for the wounds I suffer along the way
A fervent prayer giving courage and hope for another day
Through the help of my friends
Ones I may never see again
Seem like angels that were sent by heaven for me
Repeat Chorus
