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
