(Skeeter Davis)

You're tryin' everything from drink to drugs and still you cannot find
The answer to the questions that circle in your mind
Let me tell you bout Jesus and what he'll do for you
He can save your soul from hell and nobody else can do.

That except Jesus
He will be your friend try Jesus he will take you in
He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free
Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus.

As you travel down life's road I'm sure you want to find
The one thing in this troubled world that'll give you peace of mind
If you'll just try Jesus I promise you will see
The meaning of what real peace is and what it's like to be free.

Try Jesus he will be your friend try
Jesus he will take you in
He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free
Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus.

Jesus he will be your friend
Jesus he will take you in
He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free
Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus.

Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus...
