[Verse 1]
I know I'm not the only one
Who ever sins and makes mistakes (Romans 3:23)
But it seems like I'm the only one
Who says I'm sorry forgive me (Matthew 5:23-24)
What is it about those words
That make it foreign to your mouth
I guess sometimes it's just too hard
To love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39)

[Chorus]
Lord can You help me
I've been knocked down by
The words of a friend (Psalm 41:9)
Give me the power to forgive (Mark 11:25)
And love my neighbor as myself
You've been through what I've been through (Hebrews 4:15)
You know the kiss of a friend (Matthew 26:49-50)
You proved to me on the cross
That You loved me as Yourself (Romans 5:8)

[Verse 2]
You know that I know
There is no freedom when we speak
There's something in between us
That makes us both act differently (Hebrews 12:14-15)
You try to act like nothing's wrong
That the problem will just handle itself
God screams don't let the sun go down before
You love your neighbor as yourself (Ephesians 4:25-26)
[Chorus]
Lord can You help me
I've been knocked down by
The words of a friend
Give me the power to forgive
And love my neighbor as myself
You've been through what I've been through
You know the kiss of a friend
You proved to me on the cross
That You loved me as Yourself

[Break]
I gotta get my life in line with you (Romans 12:1-2)
And remove the plank from my eye (Matthew 7:4-5)
Gotta see with the eyes of love you give (1 Samuel 16:7)
So I'll love my neighbor as myself
I gotta get my life in line with you
And remove the plank from my eye
Gotta see with the eyes of love you give
So I'll love my neighbor as myself

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Lord can You help me
I've been knocked down by
The words of a friend
Give me the power to forgive
And love my neighbor as myself
[Break]
I gotta get my life in line with you
And remove the plank from my eye
Gotta see with the eyes of love you give
So I'll love my neighbor as myself
I gotta get my life in line with you
And remove the plank from my eye
Gotta see with the eyes of love you give
So I'll love my neighbor as myself
