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.

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.

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.

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.
