Jesus Is the Friend You Need

1 Have you wandered from the Shepherd’s fold away,
Into ways forbidden have you gone astray?
Are you still in darkness, longing for the day?
Jesus is the Friend you need.

Refrain:
Jesus is the Friend you need,
Jesus is the Friend you need;
Let His love and light be yours to shine away the night,
Jesus is the Friend you need.

2 Are you daily burdened with a heavy load,
As you travel in the straight and narrow road?
Are you striving to be loyal, pure and good?
Jesus is the Friend you need. [Refrain]

3 Would you dwell within the mansions of the blest?
Does your weary heart still long for peaceful rest?
You will find the pilgrim way is always best,
Jesus is the Friend you need. [Refrain]
