I lift my friend to You

Complicated circumstances have clouded his view

Chorus:

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs
to hear

I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and
  Ddim         D#m   A#m
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

Chorus:
'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 strings
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
