He lifted my burden
of sorrow and sin,
The blood of His cleansing
has washed me within;
He gave me the power
new life to begin,
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
Such wonderful things He does for me,
Though only one step each day I see;
The joy of my life indeed is He,
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
He comes to my rescue
whenever I call,
I’m safe in His keeping,
no harm can befall;
Though troubles be many,
yet, spite of them all,
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
Such wonderful things He does for me,
Though only one step each day I see;
The joy of my life indeed is He,
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
My path may be thorny,
and dangers dismay,
His wonderful promise
all fears will allay:
“Lo, I will be with you
by night and by day”;
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
Such wonderful things He does for me,
Though only one step each day I see;
The joy of my life indeed is He,
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
With Jesus beside me
I fear not the foe,
His arm of protection
around me He’ll throw;
His goodness and mercy
my cup overflow,
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
Such wonderful things He does for me,
Though only one step each day I see;
The joy of my life indeed is He,
Oh, what a dear friend is Jesus!
