You’re my Christian brother,
i love you with all my heart
when you need some help,
i’ll gladly do my part
i’ll stand beside you,
even when we’re all alone
i’ll be your brother,
when all the rest have gone
You’ve shown love to me,
in a way no one else has
All i can do is thank Him,
for purposely crossing our paths

i’m your brother
— i love you
we can stand together
— just us two
when you talk to me
— all you say is true
you’ve supported me
— i’ll stand in the gap for you

Yes, you’ve failed me before,
and i know i’ll fail you,
Yes, we’ll disagree sometimes,
and we’ll argue too,
but we’ll always draw close again,
when the battle’s through
i know that if we’re together,
we’ll make it through
we’ll pray together,
and for each other
i love you, ‘cause
you’re my Christian brother

(repeat chorus)

i’ll stand by your side
— please, stand by mine
When we fight satan
— we’ll be side by side
i’ll watch your back
— you cover me
we’ll make it through
— just wait and see

(repeat chorus)
