Lyrics    /    Chords

When Your Way
Get's Dark as Night
Jesus Will Bring Things
Out Allright
For he’s a friend
I know He is and now
Until the end

In my saviour always trust
Don’t lose your faith
and hope in disgust
for he’s a friend
I know He is now
Until the end

Oh, he is my friend
Every day, Lord
And every step of the way
When from the Fold I stray
I know he tenderly
gathers me in
I never have to worry
I know he’s always there to defend
Jesus is a friend
Why don’t you try my God now
Until the end

Times may come when you may doubt
But Just Have Faith and He'll
Bring You Out
He’ll be your friend
I know he will now
Until the end

Then one day you’ll see God's face
After you've run this Christian Race
He’ll be your friend
I know He will now
until the end

Lord,
God is my friend
Every day, Lord
And every step of the way
When From the Fold I may Stray
I know he tenderly
gathers me in
I never have to worry
I know he’s always there to defend
Jesus is a friend
You ought to try my Savior
Until the end
