Do You Long for a Friend?

Do you long for a friend who will love you

And for­ev­er be known as your own?

Let me tell you of One who is faith­ful

When you’re wea­ry and sad and alone.

It is Je­sus the Friend of the friend­less;

Oh

let Him come in­to your heart;

Let Him in

He will give to you peace and joy

And from you He will nev­er de­part.

Do you long for a friend who can help you

When the world seems to leave you alone?

When there’s no one who quite un­der­stands you

And the bright hopes of pro­mise have flown?

Do you long for a friend who’ll be­friend you

When the sha­dows of death lin­ger near?

Who will car­ry you safe ov­er Jor­dan

Where there’ll be no more sor­row and fear?

Oh

re­ceive Him to­day who so loved you

That He died on the cross for your sin;

Oh

be­lieve Him

and op­en your heart’s door

Let the Sav­ior who loves you come in!
