Circle of Friends written by Point of Grace
We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands
Will cost you far too much
Spent so many lonely years just tryin’ to fit in
Now I’ve found my place
In this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That every orphan soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us
Will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside
There’s no need to pretend
That’s that way it is in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That we’ll gather together
No matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends
Among the nations, tribes, and tounges
We have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in Heaven
We will recognize each other
With joy so deep (joy so deep)
And love so sweet (love so sweet)
We’ll celebrate these friends
And life that never ends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That it will not be long
Before all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
That it will not be long
Before all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
Circle of friends…
We are all human, we all want to be loved, we all want to fit in with those around us. Do you feel you “fit in” with those around you?
I must admit to often feeling like an outsider. I’ve never been a particularly outgoing person and often find it difficult to step outside my comfort zone when with folk I don’t know or who don’t know me very well. Sometimes it’s like being invisible in a crowded room. It’s unsettling and stressful when you don’t feel you fit in.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (New International Version)
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
As I said earlier, we all want and need to feel we “fit in” and feel loved. Let God help you build your circle of friends by letting Him surround you with love and strength to maybe go outside your “comfort zone”, and build up a circle of Christian friends.
