Friend of Mine

Columbine, flower bloom, tenderly I sing to you
Columbine, roseblood red, heartbreak overflow my head
Columbine, flower bloom
Columbine there's hope for you
Columbine, friend of mine

To your gain, on the mark
With your love, love again
Comfort peace and sweet release come from you
Where, it's true, I hide myself in you
Can you still hear raging guns ending dreams of precious ones
In God's son, hope will come, his red stain will take our pain
Columbine, friend of mine
Peace will come to you in time
Columbine, friend of mine

Turn a page, to your gain
Keep your heart on the mark
Comfort us with your love
Love again
Christ of grace attend this place we look to you
Honor you
Fix you in our view

Columbine, flower bloom, tenderly I sing to you
Columbine, roseblood red, heartbreak overflows my head
Columbine, friend of mine
Peace will come to you in time
Columbine, friend of mine
