Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm a simple man
With dust on these cracked and calloused hands
I ain't rich enough to buy myself a chance
I'm like everybody else
I got a twisted, broken story I could tell
I paved the road to hell with stones I laid myself
And I built it all too well
Well, I know what I've done
And if judgment should come, I couldn't face it
On my own
But the Savior stepped in
Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it
Guess you could say I've got a friend in high places
Yeah, I'm livin' proof
What a carpenter from Nazareth can do
How a hammer and a nail can make things new
And I don't know why He cared
Enough to turn His head and hear my prayer
Leave Heaven when He could have just stayed there
It really don't seem fair
No, it don't seem fair
'Cause I know what I've done
And if judgment should come, I couldn't face it
On my own
But the Savior stepped in
Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it
I guess you could say I've got a friend in high places
Yes, I know what I've done
And if judgment should come, I couldn't face it
On my own
But the Savior stepped in
Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it
I guess you could say I've got a friend in high places
If you need a friend
Who ain't scared of what you've done or where you've been
Just open up the door and let Him in
If you need a friend
