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 strains
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
