When every moment gets too hard
The end of the road can feel so far
No matter how much time we're apart
I'm always near you

I'll be the shelter in your rain
Help you to find your smile again
I'll make you laugh at a broken heart
Wherever you are

Chorus
'Cause I'm never gonna walk away
If the walls come down someday
All alone, and you feel afraid
I'll be there when you call my name
You can always depend on me
I believe until forever ends
I will be your friend

Yeah..I will be your friend

So many people come and go
But nothing will change the you I know
You'll never be just a face in the crowd
And time will show

Through the seasons and the years
I will always hold you dear
Never you fear

Chorus(x2)

I'll be around when every candle burns down low
And I want you and I want you to know

Chorus(x2)
I will be your friend
I will be your friend

Amy Grant

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
