What A Friend

You're calling me home from my wanderings to sit right by your side I'm not in trouble and you're not angry, the agenda is to share each others presence Heart to heart or blessed silence either way no time we spend is wasted I've never had a friend who was here for me like this All my life I've been scared of being honest with the truth of my whole story Would you leave or would you stay, can you handle the thousand ways I'm human Time and time again I find that I can trust you and that your love it never falters I've never had a friend who was here for me like this This is how my prodigal feet find redemption This is how my shipwrecked soul catches wind again This is how the orphan in me finds a home at last It's in your presence, your courts, your embrace It's in making my home with you What a friend I've found, what a friend I've found In Jesus, In Jesus What a friend I've found, what a friend I've found In Jesus, In Jesus For all my emotions my doubts and my questions To field all my passions and my deepest yearnings oh what a friend I've found What a friend I've found To sort out the mess that I make of my mind To help clear the clutter within my heart oh what a friend I've found What a friend I've found For all of the valleys and all of the mountains Through all of the fire and sweet green pastures oh what a friend I've found What a friend I've found To lead me in dancing when I feel defeated to show me the kindness of His tender smile What a friend I've found, what a friend I've found This is how my prodigal feet find redemption This is how my shipwrecked soul catches wind again This is how the orphan in me finds a home at last It's in your presence, your courts, your embrace It's in making my home with you
