Who am I that You are mindful of me
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me
How You love me it's amazing

(Chorus)
I am a friend of God

He calls me friend

God Almighty, Lord of Glory
You have called me friend

(Repeat Chorus again)

He calls me friend
He calls me friend...

The Bible tells us in John 15:15 that Jesus said: I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends for everything that I have learned from my Father I have made known to you.

And then in James 2:23 God says that, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.
