Sitting by the fire Feeling a little tired Waiting for the time it's going to storm The ocean in the night seems to invite me To go back to the place I've come from I've come from I have been so many places Trying to find the one called home When my soul separates from my body Will I come into Your Kingdom? Friend He's a friend of mine until the end He's the only life and the way And I can feel His love more each day Warmed by the fire, bold as a lion God is my shield if I'm upright in heart Living by the Word divinely inspired Keep it in mind You are the salt and light You are the salt and light Pray to Jesus as your Saviour Nobody knows when that time comes Narrow is the way that leads us to heaven Help me to be led by Your wisdom Friend He's a friend of mine until the end He's the only life and the way And I can feel His love more each day Friend He's a friend of mine until the end He's the only life and the way And I can feel His love more each day When the clouds are gathering round you Hear the whisper "You're not alone" When the sun goes down, don't lower your head Raise it up and look up with hope 'Cause there's a reason for everything And warm days will come after cold It comes and goes God only knows We can only suppose As time goes by When the clouds are gathering round you Hear the whisper "You're not alone" When the sun goes down, don't lower your head Raise it up and look up with hope 'Cause there's a reason for everything And warm days will come after cold It comes and goes God only knows We can only suppose As time goes by Friend (Friend) He's a friend of mine until the end (Until the end) He's the only life and the way And I can feel His love more each day
