Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2746 First Line: When I need someone in time of grief Refrain First Line: I choose Jesus when I need a friend Lyrics: 1. When I need someone in time of grief, Someone my cheer to be, Jesus I choose, for He gives relief, He is the best for me.

When I need someone to guide my soul Over the stormy sea, Always to Jesus I give control, He is the best for me. [Refrain] 3. When I need help to defeat the foe, Someone my shield to be, Always to Jesus in faith I go, He is the best for me. [Refrain] 4. When all my trials on earth are o’er, And the dark stream I see, Jesus shall bear me to yonder shore, He is the best for me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When I need someone in time of grief]
