Abraham, he was my friend, my friend,

Can You Count the Stars?

D A/C# Bm

Abraham, he was my friend, my friend,

G A

I’d come and talk to him, in the cool of the day,

D A/C# Bm

I knew him well, I knew his hearts desire,

G A

And I gave it to him, he believed me when I’d say!

Chorus (1)

Bm A

Can you count the stars, can you call them all by name,

G A

I give my word to you, it always will remain.

Bm A

Can you number them? can you hear this word from me?

G A

More than you could ever count, so shall your descendants be,

Can you count the stars?

Abraham, he was my friend, my friend,

And just like you, he had his doubts and fears.

Still I walked with him, and every step along the way,

I held him up and when he cried, I dried his tears!

Chorus (2)

Bm A

Can you count the stars, can you call them all by name,

G A

I give my word to you, and it always will remain.

Bm A

Can you number them? can you hear this word from me?

G A

More than you could ever count, so shall my promise always be,

Can you count the stars?

Abraham, he is my friend, my friend,

His time has gone, his test has passed away.

Your time is here, your time to trust me more,

So don’t be afraid, just believe me when I say,

Chorus (2)
