Lyrics

I need Je­sus, my need I now con­fess;
No friend like Him in times of deep dis­tress;
I need Je­sus, the need I glad­ly own;
Tho’ some may bear their load alone,
Yet I need Je­sus.

Refrain

I need Je­sus, I need Je­sus,
I need Je­sus ev­ery day;
Need Him in the sun­shine hour,
Need Him when the storm clouds low­er;
Every day along my way,
Yes, I need Je­sus.

I need Je­sus, I need a friend like Him,
A friend to guide when paths of life are dim;
I need Je­sus, when foes my soul as­sail;
Alone I know I can but fail,
So I need Je­sus.

Refrain

I need Je­sus, I need Him to the end;
No one like Him, He is the sin­ner’s friend;
I need Je­sus, no oth­er friend will do;
So con­stant, kind, so strong and true,
Yes, I need Je­sus.
