[Verse 1]
G C
You hold my hand, while my heart beats fast and we leave my past behind
G C
I find the strength to stand with your whisper soft, there's a slowing in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
You're always good, you're always smiling
D G C
You're always here, you're always wise
[Chorus]
C Em D
Oh Lord, What a friend I've found
C Em D
Oh Lord, Closer than a brother
C Em D C
Oh Lord, I will lay my burdens down
[Verse 2]
G C
In the mystery, I remember all the times you've called my name
G C
You come in close to me, when my knees give way, you hold me just the same
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
You're always good, you're always smiling
D G C
You're always here, you're always mine
[Chorus]
C Em D
Oh Lord, What a friend I've found
C Em D
Oh Lord, Closer than a brother
C Em D C
Oh Lord, I will lay my burdens down
(x2)
[Bridge]
D Em C
And I can hear your song surrounding me
D G C
From beggining to the end
D Em C
And never once have you forgotten me
D G C
Oh, loving brother, faithful friend
D Em C
I can hear your song surrounding me
D G C
From beggining to the end
D Em C
And never once have you forgotten me
D G C
Oh, loving brother, faithful friend
D G C
Oh, loving brother, faithful friend
D G C
Oh, loving brother, faithful friend
[Outro]

Oh Lord, What a friend I've found

Oh Lord, I will lay my burdens down
