lyrics version 1
He is a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
His killing had deep purpose
The saving of mankind
And he is a friend of mine
He died on the cross
He died upon the cross
The sky began to darken
And the sea began to toss
When he died upon the cross
Oh oh oh oh
Ooh hoo ooh ooh
The sky began to darken
And the sea began to toss
When he died upon the cross
He took away my shame
He took away my shame
Oh when he died to save us
He forgave us just the same
And he took away my shame
He is a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
His killing had deep purpose
The saving of mankind
An' he is a friend of mine
The man's a friend of mine
Well he's a friend of mine
A-he's a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
His killing had deep purpose
The saving of mankind
And he is a friend of mine
He died on the cross
He died upon the cross
The sky began to darken
And the sea began to toss
When he died upon the cross
Oh oh oh oh
Ooh hoo ooh ooh
The sky began to darken
And the sea began to toss
When he died upon the cross
He took away my shame
He took away my shame
Oh when he died to save us
He forgave us just the same
And he took away my shame
He is a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
His killing had deep purpose
The saving of mankind
An' he is a friend of mine
The man's a friend of mine
Well he's a friend of mine
A-he's a friend of mine
