Higher Call

Well I have never been the kind To let too many get behind The wall that I have built around my heart And now I find myself afraid And feeling like I've been betrayed By one that I have trusted from the start But friends are only human and at times they're gonna fall But when it hurts the most is when they need you most of all Chorus: To forgive Is to reach out to your brother As one friend to another No matter what the cost To forgive Is to leave the past behind you And pray tomorrow finds you Stronger for the journey As every day we're learning To forgive It was another place and time When I had failed a friend of mine And there was no one else to take the blame But when He could have turned away Somehow He found the strength to stay His love for me was stronger than the pain In light of all His mercy it's much easier to see That even from the cross the Lord was calling you and me Chorus
