[Verse]
                   C
You were there for me through it all
                F
When everyone around said that I would fall
             G
You were my friend
                    C
And You believed in me

            C
Through the good times and the bad
                     F
At times I felt that You were all I had
             G
You were my friend
                    C
And You believed in me

[Chorus]
                       C
So You went the extra mile
               F
To prove Your love was true
                    G
You held out Your hands
                        C
As they drove the nails in You
                          C
When You could've walked away
                                F
And turned Your back to all my sins
                           G
But for me, You gave Your life
                    C
You chose to be my friend

[Verse]
         C
Like a child (like a child) so full of fear
                 F
You stood by my side and You held me near
             G
You were my friend (You were my friend)
                                      C
And You believed (oh, You believe) in me

                   C
When my faith grew weak

And strength seemed gone
                   F
You took me by the hand and led me on
                   G
Oh, You were my friend
                 C
You believed in me

Oh yes, You did

[Chorus]
                        C
So You went the extra mile
                       F
To prove Your love was true
                   G
You held out Your hands
                            C
As they drove the nails in You
                         C
When You could've walked away (walked away)
                                 F
And turned Your back to all my sins
                        G
For me, You gave Your life, Lord
                     C
You chose to be my friend
