My first few years as a disciple were quite magical;
the ability to watch the hearts of friends and family
incline toward God, as a direct result of our prayer
and outreach, is unparalleled by any earthly thing.

I'm watchin' a heart grow closer - I'm seein' a faith built high
I'm hearin' a good confession, sharin' a hope that will never die
   I wanna be makin' friends with the love that God sends
   Makin' friends, and it never ends
   Makin' friends with the Word the Lord sent down

I'm seein' my own heart changin' - I'm watchin' my own faith grow
I'm hearin' my own confession: Jesus is Lord! and with Him I go
   Were gonna be

   Makin' friends with the love that God sends
   Makin' friends, and it never ends
   Makin' friends with the Word the Lord sent down

      Nearer is a friend in Christ than one's own family
      Dearer even than a brother - read the book, don't listen to me
      Take a look and see - and you'll be

   Makin' friends with the love that God sends
   Makin' friends, and it never ends
   Makin' friends with the Word the Lord sent down
