Story Behind the Song
This is a song about seeing old friends
again and new ones and talking to them about
the "chunky" stuff of life. ...And ultimately, it is about who we need to share that stuff with: Christ. Since He is the only one who can really do anything about it.
Lyrics
"Dear Friends"
Words & Music by Hal Swift
John 4:35, Matt. 11:28-30, John 15:13-16
Well, hello dear friends,
its good to see you again,
Been a long time down this road,
Yeah, I'm still singing,
with this old six string,
God's praises ring,
wrapped in every string,
yet sometimes I think does he still know me,
And...
Chorus:
Take my hand,
and will run through these fields,
to where Jesus stands,
every woman and man,
come and find peace,
we'll find peace,
Well, I keep movin' on,
to the place I belong,
oh, the drive seems so long from here,
So, you keep lookin',
a new place to begin,
there's one not far,
it starts where you are,
and I'll go with you if you want me to,
So...
Chorus
Chorus
Well, its 2 a.m.,
its been fun talkin',
peace I leave with you,
all that you go through,
and remember the gift that Christ gives you...
