He dries my eyes when sorrow brings a tear
He calms my heart when I am full of fear
He lends an ear for each and every prayer
His name is Jesus what a friend
He speaks to me when I feel all alone
He shows the way when I begin to roam
He hears my cry when I am far from home
His name is Jesus what a friend
He’s such a friend to me
He meets my every need
He’s by my side
He never hides
My friend He’ll always be
He brings a smile to my face each day
He holds His hand out showing me the way
He always knows the right words he should say
His name is Jesus what a friend
In my darkest times He never leaves me
When my hope is gone He will assure me
Of I go astray He’s sure to find me
He’s just that kind of friend
He’s just that kind of friend
He’s such a friend to me
He meets my every need
He’s by my side
He never hides
My friend He’ll always be
The Psalmist 
“He always knows the right words he should say
His name is Jesus what a friend…” Oh, so perfect! How very true this is! Thank you, Pete, for this beautiful song and the powerful refrains throughout! I love this one. It is powerful in its construction/form as well as in its message! 🙂

Thanks Lynn. To be honest. the first two verses have been sitting in my “Not Posted” file for over 2 years. I was finally lead to finish this one today. Sometimes the good stuff has to stew for a while!
