1 Jesus is a Friend so kind,
Truer Friend you cannot find;
O, I would not live without Him if I could; -
He will help you to the end,
On His love you may depend;
O, I would not live without Him if I could.

Chorus:
O, I would not live without Him if I could, if I could,
O, I would not live without Him if I could; -
He is loving, tender, kind,
Truer Friend you cannot find;
O, I would not live without Him if I could.

2 If you turn this Friend away,
He will follow you each day;
O, I would not live without Him, if I could; -
When you fall, this Friend is near,
Call on Him, you need not fear;
O, I would not live without Him if I could. [Chorus]

3 When your head is bowed with grief,
Then this Friend will bring relief;
O, I would not live without Him if I could; -
When you stand before the throne,
He will claim you for His own;
O, I would not live without Him if I could. [Chorus]
