The Cyber Hymnal ‎#2746

2746. I Choose Jesus

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.

Refrain
I choose Jesus when I need a friend,
What I need I know that He will send;
I have proved Him, good and true is He;
I choose Jesus, He is the best for me.

2. 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]
