I want to be a help to Jesus everyday I want His light to shine on everything I do or say I want His love to always be my daily gu-i-de Every minute I want Jesus by my side Yes I want Jesus by my side when I feel blue I know I'll never have another friend that is so true How good to know that in my heart His love a-bi-des Every minute I want Jesus by my side I have no riches but that matters none at all He's always standing by to help me when He hears my call And not one thing that I've asked Him for has been de-ni-ed Every minute I want Jesus by my side Yes I want Jesus by my side when I feel blue I know I'll never have another friend so true How good to know that in my heart His love a-bi-des Every minute I want Jesus by my side
