[Chorus]
C                            F       C
Fair-weather friends fair-weather sailors
               G                  C
Will leave you stranded on life's shore
                      F          C
One good friend who truly loves you
             G                C
Is worth the pain your heart endures
[Verse]
C
We never know which way the wind will blow
                                    G
Nor when or where the next turmoil will be
    F                                C
But He's a solid rock when troubles grow
         G                          C
And He's holding out a saving hand for me
[Chorus]
 C                            F       C
Fair-weather friends fair-weather sailors
               G                  C
Will leave you stranded on life's shore
                      F          C
One good friend who truly loves you
             G                C
Is worth the pain your heart endures
[Verse]
C
He'll be a refuge in the storm
                         G
He'll be a beacon in the night
    F                                    C
In the chilly winds of doubt He'll keep you warm
         G                                 C
When you can't find your way He'll be your light
[Chorus]
C                            F       C
Fair-weather friends fair-weather sailors
               G                  C
Will leave you stranded on life's shore
                      F          C
One good friend who truly loves you
             G                C
Is worth the pain your heart endures
