Hand In The Fire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When my knees got weak You stood by my door You brought soup in a bowl And a prayer I could hold When my name felt small You spoke it back strong Said, "I know who you are And you won't stay gone" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you lifted me up When I could not rise You were steady ground Right before my eyes Oh, you stayed that day And you stay right now Love looks like a friend That won't back down [Chorus] Friendship, carry me Friendship, set me free Hand in my hand Through the storm and the sea Friendship, lift me high Friendship, testify When the road gets hard You don't leave my side [Verse 2] You showed up in rain With your old black coat Shared your last two rolls And your warm hard hope You laughed through my tears Till my fear got small And you said, "Keep going" As we faced it all [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you lifted me up When I could not rise You were steady ground Right before my eyes Oh, you stayed that day And you stay right now Love looks like a friend That won't back down [Chorus] Friendship, carry me Friendship, set me free Hand in my hand Through the storm and the sea Friendship, lift me high Friendship, testify When the road gets hard You don't leave my side [Bridge] Some friends are a doorway Some are a flame But the ones God sends you Know your hurt by name They pray when you're silent They stand when you shake And the bond gets holy With every step we take [Chorus] Friendship, carry me Friendship, set me free Hand in my hand Through the storm and the sea Friendship, lift me high Friendship, testify When the road gets hard You don't leave my side [Outro] Oh, thank You for friends like that Oh, thank You for love like that Hand in my hand Till the journey's done
