No matter what talent or gift we possess He wants each one of us To be as caring as he is So you’re my friend ’cause you’re always there Through our ups and downs and through all we’ve shared And I’m there When you need someone, when things are hard to bear I’ll be the friend you need You can count on me We weep with those who weep Sharing the things that we’re feeling But sometimes our tears may be all that can speak Expressing what words cannot say Troubles can bring us down Jehovah can lift us and carry us through We all can do the same And help each other as friends do And you’re my friend ’cause you’re always there Through our ups and downs and through all we’ve shared And I’m there When you need someone, when things are hard to bear I’ll be the friend you need You can count on me And you’re my friend ’cause you’re always there Through our ups and downs and through all we’ve shared And I’m there When you need someone, when things are hard to bear I’ll be the friend you need You can count on me
