Oh, joy can be profound
Though foes be around
In the circle of friends
Life beautifully blends

It's so nice to be real
To know one understands how you feel
In the circle of friends
There's no need to pretend



Cheering us in times of tears
Helping us through heart-felt prayers
Through life's curves and bends
Friends help us comprehend

They will always stay near
Through triumphs, through tears
Listening ears they lend
Causing broken hearts to mend



Enjoying their warm embrace
We're wrapped in sweet grace
Oh, the rare treasures God sends
In the circle of friends.
