I have found a friend in Jesus

Hi Friends,

As a young Christian, one of the things i enjoyed most was Jesus' love to me as a friend. With that understanding, I took time to learn the hymn I am about to share with you by heart and sang it at every slightest opportunity.

As we look at this topic of the closeness of Christ our Lord and savior on this lonely path to eternity,  I will like to share this hymn "I have found as friend in Jesus' with us as we sing together on this eternal High way of holiness. 

I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

Chorus
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He all my griefs has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power.

Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear,
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.

Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll:
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

May God strengthen you hearts and extra courage as we journey this way. You will never lack the companionship of Jesus Christ our Lord. Stay ever blessed.

Your Friend and fellow Pilgrim in this Kingdom Race,
