Friend

Even when I'm

walking through the valley

of dark shadows,

Even when

I'm overwhelmed beneath

the weight of sorrow.

Even when I can't

outrun my fears,

And every other

hope has disappeared,

I'm not alone,

I'm not alone.

I've still got Jesus,

Oh I've still got Jesus,

Closer than a brother

No matter where I am.

When I need an ally

in the fight,

And need to know

somebody's on my side,

He always steps in,

I've always got a friend.

You can take away all

of thе things down

here I treasurе,

You can leave me

nothing but the breath

inside my lungs.

Still I know that

I have everything,

I can lift my empty

hands and sing,

At the end of the day

With joy I can say:

I've still got Jesus,

Oh I've still got Jesus,

Closer than a brother

No matter where I am.

When I need an ally

in the fight

And need to know

somebody's on my side

He always steps in,

I've always got a friend.

Who's standing

at the ready,

When this life

gets too heavy,

He's there (He's there)

He's there (He's there)

He's there.

Friend who stood right

where I'm standing,

So no matter

what I'm handed,

He's there, He's there,

He's there.
