Friend in High Places

I'm a simple man

With dust on these cracked and calloused hands

I ain't rich enough to buy myself a chance

Like everybody else

I got a twisted, broken story I could tell

Paved the road to hell with stones I laid myself

And I built it all too well

Well, I know what I've done

And if judgment should come

I couldn't face it on my own

But the Savior stepped in

Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it

Guess you could say I've got a friend in high places

Yeah, I'm living proof

What a carpenter from Nazareth can do

How a hammer and a nail can make things new

And I don't know why He cared

Enough to turn His head and hear my prayer

Leave Heaven when He could have just stayed there

It really don't seem fair

No, it don't seem fair

'Cause I know what I've done

And if judgment should come

I couldn't face it on my own

But the Savior stepped in

Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it

I guess you could say I've got a friend in high places

Yes, I know what I've done

And if judgment should come

I couldn't face it on my own

But the Savior stepped in

Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it

I guess you could say I've got a friend in high places

If you need a friend

Who ain't scared of what you've done or where you've been

Just open up the door and let Him in

If you need a friend
