1. Prayer For A Friend by Casting Crowns

Song by Casting Crowns

Lord, I lift my friend to You
I’ve done all that I know to do
I lift my friend, to You
In complicated circumstances
With clouded view
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
I fear that I won’t have the words
That he needs to hear
I pray for Your wisdom, oh God
And a heart that’s sincere
And Lord, I lift my friend up To You

2. “Brother” by NEEDTOBREATHE

Song by NEEDTOBREATHE

Everybody needs someone beside ’em
Shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

3. “I have a Friend He Understands” by Chandler Moore

Song by Chandler Moore

He Understands
He was alone, left by his Friends
Foxes have Holes,
He had no where to go
No Place to lay his head
So if anyone knows
He Understands
You Have a Friend, He Understands
He Understands
I’ve found a Friend
In all I’m reaching
Who’s not out of touch with Reality
He was a Man, Treated bad like me
So I won’t feel Guilty
He gives me space to be
What he made me
He was a Man, Treated bad like me…

4. “God Gave Me You” by Dave Barnes

Song by Dave Barnes

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through

For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

5. “Friend Of God” by Israel Houghton

How You love me it’s amazing

6. “Friends” by Michael W. Smith

Song by Michael W. Smith

But we’ll keep you close as always
It won’t even seem you’ve gone
‘Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord’s the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
‘Cause the welcome will not end
Though it’s hard to let you go
In the Father’s hands we know
That a lifetime’s not too long
To live as friends

7. “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” by Various Artists

Song by Many Different Singers

All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don’t fight these hands that are holdin’ you
My hands are holdin’ you

9. “Friend” by Joel Vaughn

Song by Joel Vaughn

10. “Bestfriends” by Hillsong Young & Free

Song by Hillsong Young & Free

I don’t want to be on my phone but I can’t be alone
Welcome to the modern way
I’m trying to be somebody I’m not but it’s not what I want
And tell me there’s another way
All of the lights I chased are now faded
All the cheap thrills were only time wasted
Tell me why society’s plan should define who I am
Surely there’s a higher way
All of my best friends are sick of pretending
We want the truth

(Na-na, na-na)

So much is missing
So give us the real thing
I know it’s You

11. “Use A Friend” by Tauren Wells

Song by Tauren Wells

I swear
You never have to wonder if I care
Don’t even need to say my name, I’m there
Whenever you could use a friend
You know you could use me
I’ll be somethin’ to believe in
Yeah, you’ll see
Don’t even need a reason to call me
Whenever you could use a friend (use a friend)
You know you could use me, aye-yeah, yeah
(Ooh woo, ooh woo, yeah oh)
(Ooh woo, ooh woo)

12. “I’ll Find You” by Lecrae and Tori Kelly

Song by Lecrae and Tori Kelly

Just fight a little longer my friend
It’s all worth it in the end
But when you got nobody to turn to
Just hold on and I’ll find you
I’ll find you
I’ll find you
Just hold on and I’ll find you

I’m hangin’ on by a thread
And all I’m clinging to is prayers
And every breath is like a battle
I feel like I ain’t come prepared
And death’s knockin’ on the front door
Pain’s creepin’ through the back
Fear’s crawlin’ through the windows
Waiting for ’em to attack

13. “A Letter To My Friend” by Kirk Franklin

Song by Kirk Franklin

This is to my friend above
Who shows 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 who I know who can heal your life
By dying on a cross
For sinners who were lost
Lord, I love you so much
That I’m yearning for Your touch

14. “What A Friend I’ve Found” by Kristene DiMarco

Closer than a brother
I have felt Your touch
More intimate than lovers

Je-sus, Je-sus, Je – sus
Friend for – ev – er

15. “Fall On Me” by Need to Breathe

Song by Need to Breathe

You will always be
You will always be
The one that I can call
The safest place to fall
For me
When I can’t stand
When I can’t stand

16. “Known” by Tauren Wells

Songs by Tauren Wells

It’s so unusual, it’s frightening
You see right through the mess inside me
And you call me out to pull me in
You tell me I can start again
And I don’t need to keep on hiding

I’m fully known and loved by You
You won’t let go no matter what I do
And it’s not one or the other
It’s hard truth and ridiculous grace
To be known fully known and loved by You
I’m fully known and loved by You

17. “Jesus, Friend of Sinners” by Casting Crowns

Song by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, the one who’s writing in the sand
Made the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands
Help us to remember we are all the least of these
Let the memory of Your mercy bring Your people to their knees
Nobody knows what we’re for, only what we’re against when we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs, crossed over the lines and love like You did?
