Lord, I lift my friend to You I've done all that I know to do I lift my friend to You Complicated circumstances have 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 want so much to help him But this is something he has to do And Lord, I lift my friend up to You Cause 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 strings 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
