Now as the world is unwinding
And the time of my coming draws near
Let this be a gentle reminding
For those who can listen and hear
My life is new life neverending
But the old and the new cannot blend
I will not prop up a religion
But sinners are always my friends
And I've always got time for my friends
Yes, I've always got time for my friends
And you know that it's true by my Spirit in you
I've always got time for my friends
Yes, I've always got time for my friends
Today, there's religion abounding
Old casks of water-down wine
The wolves wear such dapper disguises
Only I know the hearts that are mine
But I still heal the sick and the broken
And I stand with those no-one defends
I still want no part of religioun
But sinners are always my friends
And I've always got time for my friends
Yes, I've always got time for my friends
And you know that it's true by my Spirit in you
I've always got time for my friends
Do you think we're made blind by tradition?
The problem is you think you can see
We know the Bible in eleven renditions
But why don't you just come to me?
I've always got time for my friends
I've always got time for my friends
And you know that it's true by my Spirit in you
I've always got time for my friends
Yes, I've always got time for my friends
Yes, I've always got time for my friends
You know that it's true by my Spirit in you
I've always got time for my friends
Yes, I've always got time for my friends
Yes, I've always got time for my friends
