Bruce Woodley
Bruce William Woodley,AO (born 25 July 1942), is an Australian singer-songwriter and musician. He was a founding member of the successful pop-folk group the Seekers, and co-composer of the song "I Am Australian". Woodley attended Melbourne High School with fellow Seekers, Athol Guy and Keith Potger.
The Seekers
Bruce Woodley had a 'residency' performing at the Treble Clef restaurant in Prahran. With former schoolmates, Athol Guy and Keith Potger, he formed a folk music trio, The Escorts, in the early 1960s. With the arrival of vocalist Judith Durham in 1962 they became The Seekers, and had some success in Australia before travelling to London in 1964 and recording four international hit singles written and produced by Tom Springfield. Woodley played guitar, banjo, and mandolin, as well as one of the four-part vocal harmony, and was the chief songwriter. While Durham sang the majority of lead vocals for the group, Woodley usually handled the male lead vocals, including a number of album tracks. The Seekers first disbanded in 1968.

True Friend
by: Paris TwilaTwila Paris
Seems like you know when I need you
Seems like He knows who to send
You never come as a prophet
Just an open hearted friend
Faithfully wounding my pride
Bringing me back to His side
Sharing the Word that you hide in your heart
Chorus
You are a true friend
Pointing me to Him
Lifting my downcast eyes
Turning my gaze to the sky
Probing your love again
You are a true friend
You are a true friend
Some days I feel like a failure
And I'd love to leave it all
I see no reason to go on
That's when you decide to call
Making it simple and clear
That's why your voice is so dear
My heart takes courage from hearing you say
