Verse 1
I don't know your name,
But I know who you are;
'Cause every man is the same
When it comes to the heart.
And I've seen the place you're headed,
And I've felt the tears you've cried,
And I know your heart's been broken like mine.

Verse 2
I'd be lost in the shadows,
But for a Friend of mine
Who can clear up these storm clouds
Risin' up in my mind.
His Words can calm the tempest,
And His hands can span the sea
Of broken dreams where we'd lose ourselves to misery.

Chorus 1
Do you know Him?
He's the Friend of a broken heart,
A home for a fountain of tears,
A helper, always near,
A father to His children dear.
When you need Him,
Call Him and He'll be there
With the soothing words of His song,
When the silence gets too long,
And your strength is all but gone.
When you need a new start,
Talk to Jesus, the Friend of a broken heart.

Verse 3
When it comes to real answers,
Human help is so vain,
Like a broken umbrella
In the cold pouring rain.
And it's all that we can manage,
To keep our eyes above the waves,
To see beyond the storm front to the day.

[Repeat first five line of Chorus 1]

Chorus 2
Woooah, do you know Him?
He's the Friend of a broken heart,
A home for a fountain of tears,
A helper, always near,
A father to His children dear.
When you need Him,
Just call Him and He'll be there
With the soothing words of His song,
When the silence gets too long,
And your strength is all but gone.
When you need a new start,
Talk to Jesus He's the Friend of a broken heart.
