I Have a Friend Above All Others Lyrics

Somebody knows when I am taunted
Somebody cares when things go wrong
Somebody's love is always there to guide you
And make you strong, oh Lord

Lord, I have a friend, He's above all others
His love is so far beyond brothers
Eternal life is yours to know Him
Savior divine, friend of mine

But Lord, I cannot tell how much I love Him
I cannot tell, all of my God's love for me
I only know cannot be measured
Deeper than the sea, Lord

Jesus alone can know my sadness
Jesus alone can bring me gladness
I'm filled with joy just because I know Him
Savior divine, friend of mine

But Lord, I have a friend above all others
Who's love is far beyond brothers
Eternal life, I know is yours to know Him
It's deeper than the sea

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
