i choose jesus

when i need someone in time of grief,
someone my cheer to be,
jesus i choose, for he gives relief,
he is the best for me.

refrain

i choose jesus when i need a friend,
what i need i know that he will send;
i have proved him, good and true is he;
i choose jesus, he is the best for me.

when i need someone to guide my soul
over the stormy sea,
always to jesus i give control,
he is the best for me.

refrain

when i need help to defeat the foe,
someone my shield to be,
always to jesus in faith i go,
he is the best for me.

refrain

when all my trials on earth are o’er,
and the dark stream i see,
jesus shall bear me to yonder shore,
he is the best for me.

refrain
