You're like a lonely statue
the wind and rain comes at you
you'll stand and take your chances
against the world's advances
you rely on a flimsy virtue
no man can stand alone
(chorus)
does it offend you
that i got a friend who
knows what you've been through
and says that he loves you?
i want to sing his name
of how he became
jesus the friend of mine

how long will you be posing
how long can you stay frozen
you'll crumble from the inside
your pride will be your demise
won't you let someone help you
everybody needs a friend
(chorus)
Does it offend you
that i got a friend who
knows what you've been through
and says that he loves you?
i want to sing his name (sing his name)
of how he became (he became)
i want to sing his name (sing his name)
of how he became
i want to, i want to sing
i want to, i want to, i want to, i want to sing
jesus a friend of mine.
