The Touch of a Friend

I was frustrated, discouraged
It seemed like the end,
What stopped me from quitting
The touch of a friend.
My life fell in pieces that
I could not mend,
What helped me redeem it,
The touch of a friend.

I needed someone with
Strength they could lend
And my prayer was answered
By the touch of a friend.
God grant me compassion
That I may serve man
Let me give where is needed
The touch of a friend.
