I Knew a Friend

This song was written by Gilberto on April 29, 1997 just weeks before returning to Brazil. It is written to Elton, the other developer of this site. I hope you will indulge us this moment of introspection. Gilberto and Elton created the midi on May 6th. God has some purpose in this change. Stay tuned for more developments.



Lyrics

(Guitar Introduction)

(The orchestra plays the melody)
When I knew you,
I knew a friend.
A friend who dreams with music;
Words and notes,
Love, hope and life.
A friend who wishes
to show the peace of Christ
through songs.

It's good to know
that people are blessed
with the truth.
The truth never fails because
Jesus is truth.
It is fighting against the sin
all the time.

When I knew you,
I knew a friend.
A friend who dreams with music;
Words and notes,
Love, hope and life.
A friend who wishes
to show the peace of Christ
through songs.

My friend, the door
never is closed to those
who believe in the truth.
Keep your head raised
and pursue the faith.
When I knew you,
I knew a friend.

(Cello solo)

I knew a friend.
