Author: Rev. A. H. Ackley Hymnal: Glad Tidings in Song #13 (1921) First Line: I have a friend who cared enough for me Refrain First Line: I'll ever sing of Jesus' love for me Lyrics: 1 I have a Friend who cared enough for me
To seek and save my poor lost soul;
He found me wand’ring in the desert lone,
And won me back to His control.
Refrain:
I’ll ever sing of Jesus’ love for me,
And how He died upon Mount Calvary;
I’ll sing it now and thro’ eternity,
For that’s the sweetest song I know.
2 He met me with a look of pitying love,
His wounded side all rent and torn;
His pierced hands and feet, His broken heart,
The marks His thorny crown has worn. [Refrain]
3 I could not lift myself to His embrace,
He stooped and carried me along;
With words of healing comfort spoke to me,
And changed my mourning into song. [Refrain]
4 I found forgiveness in my Father’s house,
That peace my soul had never known;
‘Twas all because that God so loved the world,
And Jesus came to save His own. [Refrain] Topics: Salvation; Solo Languages: English Tune Title: [I have a friend who cared enough for me]
The sweetest song I know
