Friend Songs (Charts and Audio Clips)

I just realized the other day that I’ve written two songs about friendship.

Dear Friend (CCLI #4570222)

A girlfriend of mine emailed me in desperation one day, stating that she felt overwhelmed in her life and needed great amounts of prayer. I began to pray for Sandy and another friend who God put on my heart, Jina. I felt overwhelmed by the greatness of the emotional distress on these two ladies. Muttering prayers while practicing the guitar, produced this song, which both of my friends dearly loved. Chris included it in this album because he said the church lacked a song with this theme. Often we don’t know what to pray, except to say, “Lord, I’m giving my friend to YOU. Please help her.” I hope more of you are blessed as well.

This song is recorded on my CD “Come Away” available both on iTunes and CDBaby.com.

Here is a link to the chart.

You’ve Got a Friend (CCLI#4640509 )

I actually wrote it for a friend of mine as her birthday present because she always said “I’ve got your back” and she was such a prayer warrior. I’m so pleased to know that people are enjoying this song and it’s message to us all.

So if you’re interested, here is a live recording from Angel City Cafe in Bellflower, CA from February 24, 2006.

• Bridget Willard on Vocals and Keyboards
• Mark Perez on Vocals and Guitars
• Bobby Gray on Flute and Sax

Chord chart is here… Lyrics are here…

Needless to say, it has not been professionally recorded yet.

Feel free to vote for it on my sharesong.org page.

Thank you.
