Text: | So Close Is He |
Author: | Joe E. Parks |
Tune: | [I have a Friend who always walks beside me] |
Composer: | Joe E. Parks |
1 I have a Friend who always walks beside me,
I have a Friend who's always just the same;
And when I need someone to understand me,
He's always near, and Jesus is His name.
Refrain:
So close is He (close is He) when I am bowed in sorrow,
So close is He (close is He) when troubles come along;
I cannot fret (I cannot fret) nor worry o'er the future,
So close is He my heart is filled with song.
2 Each person needs a special someone,
To share the joys and blessings of the day;
Someone to be a source of strength and courage,
When troubles sweep across our lonely way. [Refrain]
