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 And 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 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 strings And 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
