Can You Reach My Friend

I got a call from an old friend
 We laughed about how we had changed
 But I could tell things weren’t going
 As well as he claimed
 He tried to hide his feelings
 But they only gave him away
 The longer I listened
 The more I kept wishing that
 I knew the right words to say
 Can You reach my friend?
 Bring his searching to an end
 Lord, I know You love him
 Help him understand
 Can You reach my friend?
 You’re the only One who can
 Help him give his heart to You
 We talked for more than an hour
 I smiled when he mentioned Your name
 I said that I knew You
 I told him the difference You made
 But he never thought he would need You
 But maybe he’s changing his mind
 As we said goodbye, Lord, he told me that I had found
 Something that he’d like to find
 So can You reach my friend?
 You’re the only One who can, oh
 Lord, I know You love him
 Help him understand
 Can You reach my friend?
 You’re the only One who can, oh
 Help him give his heart to You
 Maybe he’s ready tonight
 Lord, he said that he might
 Make a call on You, oh yes
 My Lord, I wanna know
 Can You reach my friend?
 Bring his searching to an end
 Lord, I know, I know that You love him
 So help him understand
 Can You reach my friend?
 Bring his searching to an end
 Help him give his heart to You
 Help him give his heart to You
