Jesus My Friend


Something within my heart is stirring
A love for Jesus my dear friend
He came and died upon Mount Calvary
So sin within my heart might end
He gave His all and was so willing
He died so I might be set free
And what does He ask in return
That I love Him as He loved me

He hung between earth and Heaven
His life's blood flowed from Him away
He had no sin, He'd done no wrong
But my ransom He did pay
What can I do but simply love Him
I can't repay what He has done
He gave so much, He was so Holy
He was the Father's only Son

I'll spend my days trying to serve Him
Though in my weakness sometimes I fall
I want to give my life to Jesus
The one who gave to me His all
Help me Lord to live more closely
To the way you'd have me live
I may not have much loving Saviour
But my all to you I give
