Deep in every heart there's a desire Just to be accepted as we are Everybody needs to know that he's wanted But everybody's always wanting more
The Son of God came down to be a servant The world did not receive Him as a King And if we take the Lord as our example It ain't how much you get, it's what you bring
You got to show somebody your salvation Show someone the mercy you've been shown And if you heed the very first commandment You'll take your brothers burdens as your own
The only way to have a friend is to be one
If men could see our faith turned into action The way the Lord intended it to be If flesh and blood were dying in the Spirit Then Jesus would be plain for all to see
The words of our own mouths will be our judgement The measure that we use will be returned We hear the Word but how much do we do it? We hear the Word but how much have we learned?
The only way to have a friend is to be one
You got to show somebody your salvation Show someone the mercy you've been shown And if you heed the very first commandment You'll take your brothers burdens as your own
