I CALL YOU FRIEND LYRICS
Risen Again
Words & Music By Marty Goetz

I come here to proclaim He’s risen again, risen again
And there’s no other name that’s given to men, given to men
By which they might enter Heaven
I ask you to believe we’re nearing the end, nearing the end
I ask you to receive Him, and the help that He’ll lend in these last days
The blessings He’ll send will surely amaze you
I know it’s hard to suspend all your reasons
But try to pretend He’s in all that you do
And you may find it’s true, though you never knew
Anything I know that’s in anyway good, surely He put in my head
No matter where I go, if it’s the way that I should, It’s purely His foot that led
I am nothing apart from Him.
He’s my heart. He’s why I live. He’s all I’ll ever have to give
And I rejoice to tell you He’s coming again, coming again
Oh hear His voice He’ll tell you, “Be born again. I stand at the door. I want to enter.
Know that I’m for you.”
He wants you just to surrender your will
And to trust He’s a friend, He’ll do all He can do
And He won’t be through ‘til all is new
Anything I am that’s in any way right, was wrought by His skillful hand
No matter who I am when I stand in His light, I know I will understand
I am something when I’m with Him
In my heart, now I can see. He’s all I ever dreamed would be
And if I can’t admit He’s risen again, risen again
Then I am to be pitied more than all men, more than all men
For my hope is all then in vain
But I know that He’s risen, Yes I know that He’s risen
I know that He’s risen again
I know that He’s risen again
Pleasures Forevermore

Always stay at my right hand and I will not be moved
And I will pray that in Your sight I might stand approved
You’ve given more than I could ask, how pleasant is the boundary
Around the portion and the lot, I got the day You found me
Chorus:
You have shown me Your paths Oh Lord
In Your presence is fullness of joy
In Your right hand are pleasures
In Your right hand are pleasures
In Your right hand are pleasures
Forevermore, pleasures forevermore
Apart from You I’ve nothing good, Your counsel’s my delight
You’re daily, truly guiding me, consulting in the night
You drink the cup filled up with what, the life I led would merit
And shed instead eternity into the cup I inherit
(Chorus)
Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices
You're continually before me
My eyes upon You, to You I run
My blessed One
(Chorus)
I’ll adore and treasure You, forevermore

I call you friend, that’s what you are
All that I do I share with you
I have no secrets, I have no need
To keep them to myself, for I tell you to the end
I call you my friend
You call me master, and so I am
All that I do you will do too
Secret’s I’ll whisper, and what you hear
You’ll shout aloud out to a world that’s near it’s end
I call you my friend
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you
Truly I say to you, you’ll have tribulation
But have no fear dear one, be of good cheer
Truly I have overcome, you too will overcome
So, come my friend
I know who you are
Before you were I knew of you
You’ve so many secrets, you’ve so many needs
Don’t keep them to yourself, no one to help you in the end.
Just call my name, I’m always the same
I search for all who will claim the love I send
So I can call them friend
Say, can I call you my friend?
I am
(Psalm 46)

Come, behold the works of The Lord
How He has wrought the desolation
How He has brought His early help
The Lord of Hosts is with us
The God of Jacob is our refuge
When the nations rage and all the kingdoms fall
He says I Am, I Am, I Am all
And there’s a river who’s streams make glad the city of God
They flow to His Holy habitation
They flow to the home of the Most High
The Lord of Hosts is with us
The God of Jacob is our refuge
He breaks the bow, he shatters the spear
And says I Am, I Am, I Am here!
So we will not fear
Though the worlds should change
Though the waters roar
Though the mountains shake and tremble
For He’s a present help in trouble, in trouble
Be still and know that I am God
I Am exalted in the nations
I Am exalted in the earth
The Lord of Hosts is with us
The God of Jacob is our refuge
To the ends of the earth He causes wars to cease and says
I Am, I Am, I Am peace
He says I Am, I Am, I Am peace
He Is My Defense
(Psalm 62)

The Lord Is So Good
(Psalm 103)

Merciful and gracious, so slow to anger
In pity plenteous, Oh the Lord is so good
He’ll not always chide us, nor let His anger or wrath abide upon us
Oh the Lord is so good
He is not rewarding me according to my iniquity
Nor treating me after my sin
No I’ll enter into His throne room with boldness
When I’ve a hunger for His forgiveness
Oh the Lord is so good
He is not rewarding me according to my iniquity
But if I happen to sin, He’ll bid me come into
His throne room with kindness
For my Intercessor is the gentle Jesus
Who delivers us for our good
So sing hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
To the Lord, the Lord is so good
O Holy One
(Psalm 40)

Sacrifice, offering You do not desire
But You’ve given me an open ear
When I’m cold as ice and bring to You things burnt with fire
You say, “Son keep your spirit clear, that’s all that I require.”
Oh Holy One I delight to do Your will
On Your Name I now look and with awe I now start
And lo I come, please write with sacred quill
My name in Your Book and Your Law in my heart
Faithfulness, Mercy and Love You multiply
And there’s no one who compares with You
As for me I was poor and needy, but I know You heard my cry
When You drew me from the pit so I could sit with You on high
Oh Holy One, I delight to do Your will
When You came I forsook all my need to be smart
And lo, I come give me wisdom and fill my name in Your Book and Your Law in my heart
You put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God
Many will see and many will fear
And men with ears to hear will know they must put their trust in The Lord
Well sons of serpents, hypocrites, Pharisees and Scribes
I’m afraid I’ve behaved like all of you
But a serpent raised upon a pole healed the twelve tribes
And a Son raised upon a cross is the healing of our lives
O Holy One, I delight to do Your will
All our shame Jesus took, Now we’re near not far apart
And lo I come knowing no peace until my name’s in Your book
And Your Law’s in my heart
And lo I come holding fast and holding still
My name in Your book and Your love in my heart

What is man that You are mindful of him
And the son of man that You visit him?

One Thing I Have Asked Of The Lord
(Psalm 27)
Words & Music By Marty Goetz
©1992 Singin’ in the Reign Music/ASCAP
One thing I have asked of The Lord, that I will seek after
That I may dwell in the house of The Lord all the days of my life
One day in Your courts Oh Lord is to me far better
than any treasure the world could afford in a thousand days of this life
Oh to behold the beauty of The Lord, the beauty of The Lord
You’re beautiful my Lord
And to inquire in Your temple, to inquire in Your temple
Is my desire Oh Lord, My desire Oh Lord
One thing You have asked Oh Lord, that will I seek after
Yes I will seek Your face my Lord every day of my life
Just to behold the beauty of The Lord, the beauty of The Lord
You’re beautiful my Lord
To be a child pure and humble, just a child pure and humble
That’s my desire Oh Lord, my soul’s desire Oh Lord
Oh to behold the beauty of The Lord, the beauty of The Lord
You're beautiful my Lord
Oh keep the fire in this temple, keep the fire in this temple
Burning higher my Lord, ever higher my Lord
One thing I have asked of The Lord, that will I seek after
That I may dwell in Your house Oh Lord
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
