We all need sheltering trees

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

Lift us up before the king of kings

We all need 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

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

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

Lift us up before the king of kings

We all need sheltering trees

We all need sheltering trees

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

Lift us up before the king of kings

We all need sheltering trees

We all need sheltering trees

We all need sheltering trees
