A Letter To A Friend
Kirk Franklin · Other Songs - Kirk Franklin
This is to my friend above
who showed me so much love and grace
By placing a smile upon my face
It's so hard to express the way I feel
About a man I know can heal your life
By dying on the cross
send us your word lord
Lord i love you so much
That I'm yearning for your touch
This is to my friend up above
Who showed me so much love
So much love and Grace ya'll
By placing a smile upon my face
It's so hard to express the way I feel
About a man I know he can heal your life your life yes
By dying on he cross
O send us your word Lord
and while I'm here today
there's just one thing that I wanna say
I wanna say yeah yeah yeah oh
chorus:
Watch over me and protect me
From the things I can not see
Let your loving arms surround me
From here to eternity
Lord I need your annoiting
so my spirit can be free
Lord I need you more and more and more
