[Verse 1]

I know I'm not the only one

Who ever sins and makes mistakes (Romans 3:23)

But it seems like I'm the only one

Who says I'm sorry forgive me (Matthew 5:23-24)

What is it about those words

That make it foreign to your mouth

I guess sometimes it's just too hard

To love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39)

[Chorus]

Lord can You help me

I've been knocked down by

The words of a friend (Psalm 41:9)

Give me the power to forgive (Mark 11:25)

And love my neighbor as myself

You've been through what I've been through (Hebrews 4:15)

You know the kiss of a friend (Matthew 26:49-50)

You proved to me on the cross

That You loved me as Yourself (Romans 5:8)

[Verse 2]

You know that I know

There is no freedom when we speak

There's something in between us

That makes us both act differently (Hebrews 12:14-15)

You try to act like nothing's wrong

That the problem will just handle itself

God screams don't let the sun go down before

You love your neighbor as yourself (Ephesians 4:25-26)

[Chorus]

Lord can You help me

I've been knocked down by

The words of a friend

Give me the power to forgive

And love my neighbor as myself

You've been through what I've been through

You know the kiss of a friend

You proved to me on the cross

That You loved me as Yourself

[Break]

I gotta get my life in line with you (Romans 12:1-2)

And remove the plank from my eye (Matthew 7:4-5)

Gotta see with the eyes of love you give (1 Samuel 16:7)

So I'll love my neighbor as myself

I gotta get my life in line with you

And remove the plank from my eye

Gotta see with the eyes of love you give

So I'll love my neighbor as myself

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Lord can You help me

I've been knocked down by

The words of a friend

Give me the power to forgive

And love my neighbor as myself

[Break]

I gotta get my life in line with you

And remove the plank from my eye

Gotta see with the eyes of love you give

So I'll love my neighbor as myself

I gotta get my life in line with you

And remove the plank from my eye

Gotta see with the eyes of love you give

So I'll love my neighbor as myself
