I Need Jesus

George O. Webster • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28

Verse 1

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.

Chorus

I need Jesus, I need Jesus, I need Jesus every day; Need Him in the sunshine hour, Need Him when the stormclouds low'r; Every day along my way, Yes, I need Jesus.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

I need Jesus, I need Jesus, I need Jesus every day; Need Him in the sunshine hour, Need Him when the stormclouds low'r; Every day along my way, Yes, I need Jesus.

Verse 3

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.

Chorus

I need Jesus, I need Jesus, I need Jesus every day; Need Him in the sunshine hour, Need Him when the stormclouds low'r; Every day along my way, Yes, I need Jesus.
