Sheltering Trees

It's been said a friend is like a mighty sheltering tree

A place of refuge we can run when trouble comes for you and me

Someone we can count on through the thick and thin

When the storms of life are blowing, there's

Just nothing like a friend

(there's just nothing like a friend)

We all need sheltering trees

Friends in our lives who'll get down on their knees

And lift us up before the king of kings

We all need sheltering trees

There've been days that I was sure that I couldn't make it through

Clouds of doubt came rolling in and I didn't know what I would do

I would've given in and said I just can't go on

If it hadn't been for a friend that helped me to be strong

(helped me to be strong)

We all need sheltering trees

Friends in our lives who'll get down on their knees

And lift us up before the king of kings

We all need sheltering trees

You can face the highest mountain and

The climb won't feel so high

Or cross the darkest valley and it won't seem so wide

Nothing is impossible when a friend is by your side

We all need sheltering trees

Friends in our lives who'll get down on their knees

And lift us up before the king of kings

We all need sheltering trees
