1 Do you need a friend to help you?
Look to Jesus,
He is near and He will answer when you call;
Are your strength and courage failing?
Look to Jesus,
He is watching, He will hold you lest you fall.

Chorus:
Look to Jesus ev'ry moment, ev'ry day;
Simply trust Him, trust Him, let Him lead.
Look to Jesus,
He will brighten all your way,
And supply your ev'ry need.

2 Does the road seem long and dreary?
Look to Jesus,
And the wilderness will blossom as the rose;
Are your days beset with trial?
Look to Jesus,
And His love will turn to blessing all your woes. [Chorus]

3 Is your heart oppressed with sorrow?
Look to Jesus,
You will soon with joyful praise begin to sing;
Are you fearful for the morrow?
Look to Jesus,
Rest in Him and trust the promise of your King. [Chorus]
