This song drove me to tears this morning on the way to work. The words are simple and straight-forward, but it just hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s amazing how the God of the universe can call me His friend, even though I don’t deserve it.

I like Israel Haughton’s rendition of this song. It’s so joyful. And the harmonies are amazing.

“Friend of God”
by Michael Gungor and Israel Haughton
as sung by Israel & the New Breed

Who am I that You are mindful of me,
That You hear me when I call?
Is it true that You are thinking of me?
How You love me, it’s amazing.

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend.

God Almighty, Lord of glory
You have called me friend
