Lyrics

Who am I that You are mind ful of me,

that You hear me

when I call?

Is it true that You are think ing of me?

How You love me,

it’s a maz ing.

I am a friend of God,

I am a friend of God,

I am a friend of God, He calls me friend.

I am a friend of God,

I am a friend of God,

I am a friend of God, He calls me friend.
