He is Your Friend

He Is Your Friend
(Music: James Taylor “You’ve Got a Friend”)
(From my Book with a few modifications)

Mrs. Paddy©

When you’re down and troubled,
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, no nothing is going right
Close your eyes and say a prayer
He always will be there
To lighten up even your darkest night.

You just call out His Name
And you know, whenever you do
He will listen, (oh yeah, brother)
He will see you through.
When you need help from your fall
He will answer if you call
And He’ll be there, yeah yeah yeah
He is your friend.

If the world around you
Seems so dark and full of doubt
And you think that nobody sees or knows
Bow your head in silence
And call His name out low
And behold He stands knocking upon your door.

You just call out His Name
And you know He’ll listen and care
All your burdens He gladly will share
In your doubt pain or despair
He will listen to your prayer
And He’ll be there, yeah yeah yeah
Now til the end.

Hey ain’t it good to know
That you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold?
He won’t hurt you; He won’t desert you
And He’ll save your soul if you let Him
So why don’t you let Him?

You just call out His Name
And you know He’ll listen and care
All your burdens He gladly will share
In your doubt, pain or despair
He will listen to your prayer
And He’ll Be There, Oh yes He will
Now til the end

He is your friend
Ain’t it good to know He is your friend
Ain’t it good to know He is your friend
He is your friend.
