Are you look­ing for a friend,
One who will your life de­fend,
A friend in­deed, whose love is deep and true;
There is one close by your side,
And with you He would con­fide
He is wait­ing to re­lieve
And com­fort you.

Refrain

This friend is Je­sus,
He died on the cross to save you from sin;
This friend who will keep to the end,
This won­der­ful friend is Je­sus.

Are you look­ing for a friend,
One on whom you can de­pend,
A friend who stand­eth true when oth­ers fail;
You will find the Lord, in­deed,
Is a friend in ev­ery need,
And He bids you have the faith
On Him to call.

Refrain

He’s the dear­est in the world,
For when hu­man lips are curled,
He’s pre­cious, oh, so pre­cious, day by day,
And He’s wait­ing now for you,
For your heart and ser­vice, too;
Will you take Him as your friend
While now you may?

Refrain
