1. He is a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
His killin' had deep purpose
The saving of mankind
He is a friend of mine

2. He died upon the cross
He died upon the cross
The sky began to darken
And the sea began to toss
He died upon the cross

3. He took away my shame
He took away my shame
And when he died to save us
He forgave us just the same
He took away my shame

His killing had deep purpose
The saving of mankind

C: He is a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
He is a friend of mine
