Jesus my friend

Jesus Stayed

Jesus, my friend, my Savior, light in the dark,

You knew my name before I knew my heart.

Through every battle, every scar, every bend,

You never left me, Jesus, my friend.

I was running through the night, trying to find my way,

Carrying all my burdens, hiding all my pain.

Looking for peace in places that left me empty inside,

But You kept calling my name, standing by my side.

When the world felt cold and I had nowhere else to go,

Your love became the shelter that my soul would come to know.

You picked me up from the ashes when I couldn’t stand alone,

And reminded me, Lord, that I was always Your own.

You heard every tear that fell,

Every silent cry.

You stayed right beside me,

Through every low and high.

I love the Lord, ’cause He heard my cry,

When I was sinking low, He lifted me high.

The chains tried to hold me, fear tried to steal my song,

But Jesus reached down and said, “You belong.”

I called Your name, You answered me,

Your mercy broke my chains and set me free.

Now my heart belongs to You,

Jesus, my friend, forever true.

There were nights I couldn’t sleep, tears falling from my eyes,

Asking, “Father, do You see me?” underneath the darkest skies.

I carried guilt and shame for things I couldn’t leave behind,

Trying to fight my battles with a weary, troubled mind.

I was lost inside the noise, searching for a place to hide,

But every road without You left another wound inside.

Then You met me in my weakness when I had no strength to stand,

And You pulled me from the darkness with Your nail-scarred hands.

You heard every tear that fell,

Every silent cry.

You stayed right beside me,

Through every low and high.

I love the Lord, ’cause He heard my cry,

When I was sinking low, He lifted me high.

The chains tried to hold me, fear tried to steal my song,

But Jesus reached down and said, “You belong.”

I called Your name, You answered me,

Your mercy broke my chains and set me free.

Now my heart belongs to You,

Jesus, my friend, forever true.

I repent, Father, wash me clean,

Take every broken part of me.

When I got lost, You came and found me,

Your grace and mercy wrapped around me.

When everybody walked away,

You stayed.

When my faith was weak and small,

You stayed.

When I couldn’t find the words to pray,

You stayed.

Jesus, You never walked away.

I love the Lord, ‘cause He heard my cry,

When death stood near, You gave me life.

The grave couldn’t hold You, the stone rolled away,

Now I’m walking in freedom because of that day.

I called Your name, You answered me,

Your mercy broke my chains and set me free.

Every breath I have will sing,

Jesus my Savior, my Lord, my King.

Jesus, my friend, my Savior above,

Walking beside me, surrounding me with love.

As long as I have breath, Your name I will defend,

Forever and ever,

Jesus, my friend. 🙏🎵
