Can You Reach My Friend

I got a call from an old friend

We laughed about how we had changed

But I could tell things weren’t going

As well as he claimed

He tried to hide his feelings

But they only gave him away

The longer I listened

The more I kept wishing that

I knew the right words to say

Can You reach my friend?

Bring his searching to an end

Lord, I know You love him

Help him understand

Can You reach my friend?

You’re the only One who can

Help him give his heart to You

We talked for more than an hour

I smiled when he mentioned Your name

I said that I knew You

I told him the difference You made

But he never thought he would need You

But maybe he’s changing his mind

As we said goodbye, Lord, he told me that I had found

Something that he’d like to find

So can You reach my friend?

You’re the only One who can, oh

Lord, I know You love him

Help him understand

Can You reach my friend?

You’re the only One who can, oh

Help him give his heart to You

Maybe he’s ready tonight

Lord, he said that he might

Make a call on You, oh yes

My Lord, I wanna know

Can You reach my friend?

Bring his searching to an end

Lord, I know, I know that You love him

So help him understand

Can You reach my friend?

Bring his searching to an end

Help him give his heart to You

Help him give his heart to You
