Chose to Be My Friend

You were there for me through it all

When everyone around said that I would fall

You were my friend

And 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 You believed in me

So 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've walked away

And turned Your back to all my sins

But for me, You gave Your life

You chose to be my friend

Like a child (like a child) so full of fear

You stood by my side and You held me near

You were my friend (You were my friend)

And You believed (oh, You believe) in me

When my faith grew weak

And strength seemed gone

You took me by the hand and led me on

Oh, You were my friend

You believed in me

Oh yes, You did

So 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've walked away (walked away)

And turned Your back to all my sins

For me, You gave Your life, Lord

You chose to be my friend

When You could've walked away (oh, could've walked away)

And turned Your back to all my sins

But for me, You gave your life, Jesus

You chose to be my friend

For me, You gave Your life (ooh, You gave Your life)

You chose to be my friend
