Petra - I Can Be Friends With You lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Bob Hartman

I can be friends with you

There's no better friend that a man can know

I can be friends with you

And I feel so special

'Cause it's you I know

I don't know the governor

Even though I'm a resident

I don't rub shoulders with the dignities

Or shake hands with the President

And I know I can be with you

And I don't have to wait in line

You're the author and creator of all the world

And a personal friend of mine

When I have a problem

I can always come to You

Regardless of the situation

I know You know what to do

You put Your arm around and speak so tenderly

And I feel better just to know You care

And you took the time for me

Greater love has no man than this

That a man lay his life down for his friend

But You laid down for all the world to see

And You proved Your love for me

I'm no special person

I've got nothing to offer You

But You treat me like I'm the only one

With whom you have to do

You're closer than a brother

And You're with me every day

I love You 'cause You first loved me

And I'm glad that I can say
