(Verse 1)
If you've been searching throughout your life
Trying to find a real friend;
I know somebody right here beside you
Hoping you'll let Him come in.

(Verse 2)
When you are lonely and when you are down,
That's when you need a real friend;
Someone to help you, someone to love you,
Someone to stay to the end.

(Chorus)
His Name is Je - sus, Son of God;
He is a wonderful friend;
His Name is Je - sus, Savior, Lord.
Let Him come into your heart right now.

(Verse 3)
Once I was lost and bound straight for hell,
But then in the Bible I read
That God loved the world in spite of our sin;
This love He showed through His Son.

(Verse 4)
So friend please remember, just how hard you try,
You'll never find peace in this world.
But I have a friend to show you the way
To love, peace, and eternal joy.
