(verse 1) When I was drifting out in sin I had no peace, no joy within But Jesus came and made me glad The dearest friend I ever had (verse 2) When Jesus comes the way is bright For He's the Way, the Truth, the Light He cheers me on when I am sad The dearest friend I ever had He saved my soul oh bless His name I'll never forget the day He came He makes me glad when I am sad The dearest friend I ever had (verse 3) O sinner come to Jesus now And at His feet just humbly bow He'll save your soul and make you glad The dearest friend you’ll ever have
