Album: Unexpected
Verse 1
You were there for me through it all,
When everyone around said I would fall
You were my friend,
You believed in me
Through the good times and the bad
At times I felt that you were all I had
You were my friend and believed in me
You went the extra mile
To prove your love was true
You held out your hands
As they drove the nails in you
When you could have walked away
And turned your back to all my sins
For me you gave your life,
You chose to be my friend
Verse 2
Like a child so full of fear,
You stood by my side and held me near
You were my friend, you believed in me
When my faith grew weak
And strength seemed gone
You took me by the hand
And led me on
You were my friend,
You believed in me
You went the extra mile
To prove your love was true
You held out your hands
As they drove the nails in you
When you could have walked away
And turned your back to all my sins
For me you gave your life,
You chose to be my friend
Chorus
When you could have walked away
And turned your back to all my sins
For me you gave your life,
You chose to be my friend
