Unexpected friends

There are those unexpected high moments that will stay with one forever. Sometimes you just have to stand still and let the good stuff pour in.........

When the dark closes in hard
And the walls of my fortress of faith
Crumble in on me
When it seems like the end
Not a measure of strength to spend
I see the hand of a stranger stretched out
Toward me

With some unexpected friends
Never asking where I have been
Just a hand of mercy and words of kindness
Call me back again
Oh, it feels like home
With unexpected friends

A soothing balm for the lows
I walk through along the way
A shared prayer giving courage
And hope for another day
Through the help of my friends

Ones I may never see again
Seems like angels that were
sent by heaven for me

With some unexpected friends
Never asking where I have been
Just a hand of mercy and words of kindness
call me back again
Oh, it feels like home
With unexpected friends
