Kingdom Songs ‎#8

8. My Truest Friend

1 There’s One above all others,
So very dear to me,
Whene’er I think upon Him,
A vision sweet I see.
His face, so kind and tender,
His smile, that thrills my heart,
O, from my blessed Saviour
I could not live apart.

Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus,
How His name with gladness thrills,
Jesus, Jesus,
Ev’ry need of life fulfills.
Jesus, Jesus,
Let our praises never end,
Jesus, Jesus,
Our Saviour and loving Friend.

2 Whene’er my heart is troubled
With sorrows, doubts or fears,
I tell Him what distresses,
And lo, it disappears.
He understands me fully,
He is my help and stay,
And that is why I love Him,
And praise Him all the day. [Chorus]

3 And when this life is over,
When time shall be no more,
I know who’ll bid me welcome
On Canaan’s happy shore.
This precious Friend who lov’d me
And gave Himself for me,
Is waiting to receive me
For all eternity. [Chorus]
