"I Need Jesus"

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.
Though some may bear their load alone,
Yet I need Jesus.

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

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.

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.

- George O. Webster, 1866 - 1942
