So Many Friends

Verse 1

A friend I know just sat and cried.

His wife had left him the other night.

Now I don’t claim to know all of the facts,

but now he’s searching to bring love back.

Chorus

Why don’t we tell them Jesus can heal.

Someone should tell them Jesus can heal.

So many friends need a helping hand. So many friends need guidance.

So many passions are in demand.

So many friends need Jesus.

Verse 2

You know commitment is hard to find.

The fear of hurting is on your mind.

You’ve seen so many loves that have died.

This world is faithless: a living lie.

Chorus

Why don’t we tell them Jesus can heal.

Someone should tell them Jesus can heal.

So many friends need a helping hand.

So many friends need guidance.

So many passions are in demand.

So many friends need Jesus.

Bridge

So many people have emptiness that only God can fill.

Even if some try to fill their lives, they wind up empty still.

So many friends are looking for answers.

Wanting some help to find the way out.

So many friends just want to start over.

So many friends need Jesus.

Closing

So many friends are without hope.

So many friends are crying.

So many friends won’t find the way,

unless someone shows them Jesus… in their life.
