"A Friend I Know"


(Spoken)
How do you believe after all that you've been through?
How do you know God is watching over you?
Why does He let you suffer the way you often do?
When will He intercede to take this cup from you?

My soul has a special place to store these doubts and fears
A quiet place to be alone with my pain and my tears
But God has the master key to unlock the secret door
His presence there comforts me, He holds me, I'm secure.

 
Chorus:
  I know my Father, I feel His power
  I will trust Him with my life each and every hour
  Many times I'm mystified by His mercy and His grace
  I'm humbled as I realize the sacrifice He's made.

Frustration and confusion, both words I know well
Daily I am battling challenges so real
On my own I'd crumble and surrender to this fight
But my loving Father supplies me with His might.

When storms begin to rage and wild winds they blow
I run to my special place and a friend that I know
Patiently He sits and waits with His big and steady arms
To rescue His frightened child from emotions of alarm.

Friends and foe can't comprehend this faith I now proclaim
The transformations in my life since my heart to God I gave
I'm hoping and I'm praying that in my life they'll see
A trace of Jesus Christ my Lord shining through me.


 
Chorus:
  I know my Father, I feel His power
  I will trust Him with my life each and every hour
  Many times I'm mystified by His mercy and His grace
  I'm humbled as I realize the sacrifice He's made.
