Unexpected Friends

When the dark closes in so hard
I can hardly see
And the walls of my fortress of faith
Crumble in on me
When it seems like the end
Not a measure of strength to spend
I feel the arms of a stranger rescue me
When it seems like the end
Not a measure of strength to spend
I feel the arms of a stranger rescue me
With some unexpected friends
Never asking where I’ve been
Just a hand of mercy and words of love
Call me back again
Oh, it feels like home
With unexpected friends
A soothing balm for the wounds
I suffer along the way
A fervent prayer giving courage
And hope for another day
Through the help of my friends
Ones I may never see again
Seem like angels that were sent
By heaven for me
With some unexpected friends
Never asking where I’ve been
Just a hand of mercy and words of love
Call me back again
Oh, it feels like home
With unexpected friends
Unexpected friends
Never asking where I’ve been
Just a hand of mercy and words of love
Call me back again
Oh, it feels like home
With unexpected friends
