Friends are so important and we cannot live without
we all need somebody who may sometimes lend a hand
when I stumble and fall I may need a friend so bad
but I often don’t get along with them
and I do not understand

Chorus
Why a tiny mistake that a friend has made
is often kept 'big' in my mind
and the greatest kindness he could show to me
is still to small for me to see
mistakes shouldn’t tear friends apart
but love should always heal

3.
When I’m looking at myself I must feel so ashamed
‘cause the way I see the others is not the way to keep them friends
well, I’m selfasure and I’m think I’m right – while the other sure is wrong
still I’m wondering why this `friendship´
is so cramped at some time

Chorus
‘Cause a tiny mistake that a friend has made…

3.
One should deem the other always higher than oneself
but we know that we ain’t strong enough to rise to this demand
what we need is everlasting love that we can’t gain by ourselves
if we place our friendship under God’s command
it will be carried by his love

Chorus
There are mistakes, eny, vanity
to be naild to the cross
so we are free to offer all our love
and share true love with our friends
our eyes at last are open now
‘cause Jesus’ love does heal

There is love that won’t disjoin – it will heal
there is love that can be true – when we believe
there is love that causes hope – it sets us free
there is love that can make friends - love, love, love
