Friend in High Places

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a simple man With dust on these cracked and calloused hands I ain't rich enough to buy myself a chance Like everybody else I got a twisted, broken story I could tell Paved the road to hell with stones I laid myself And I built it all too well [Chorus] Well I know what I've done And if judgment should come I couldn't face it on my own But the Savior stepped in Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it Guess you could say I've got a friend in high places [Verse 2] Yeah I'm livin' proof What a carpenter from Nazareth can do How a hammer and a nail can make things new And I don't know why He cared Enough to turn His head and hear my prayer Leave Heaven when He could have just stayed there It really don't seem fair No it don't seem fair [Chorus] 'Cause I know what I've done And if judgment should come I couldn't face it on my own But the Savior stepped in Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it I guess you could say I've got a friend in high places [Chorus] Yes I know what I've done And if judgment should come I couldn't face it On my own But the Savior stepped in Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it I guess you could say I've got a friend in high places [Outro] If you need a friend Who ain't scared of what you've done or where you've been Just open up the door and let Him in If you need a friend
