Verse 1

Sometimes when I'm feeling down
And there's no one else around
I dream someone
Will be there for me
Who will find me
And help me out

Chorus

Everybody needs a friend
Who will take you by the hand
Someone you rely on
A friend will help you be strong
And if you need a friend
Let me tell you again
No matter what you do
The Lord is with you

Verse 2

When I lay in bed
Alone at night
I wish everything was alright
But I know a friend
Is always with me
And that makes me happy

Chorus

Everybody needs a friend
Who will take you by the hand
Someone you rely on
A friend will help you be strong
And if you need a friend
Let me tell you again
No matter what you do
The Lord is with you

Bridge

He is my closest Friend
Who loves me to the end
Who shows me right from wrong
His love will make me strong
He will never leave my side
Because I am His child
Jesus is my Friend for life

Chorus

Everybody needs a friend
Who will take you by the hand
Someone you rely on
A friend will help you be strong
And if you need a friend
Let me tell you again
No matter what you do
The Lord is with you
