Size:

Verse 1: I need Jesus, my need I now confess; No friend like Him in times of deep distress; I need Jesus, the need I gladly own; Though some may bear their load alone, Yet I need Jesus. Verse 2: I need Jesus, I need a friend like Him, A friend to guide when paths of life are dim; I need Jesus, when foes my soul assail; Alone I know I can but fail, So I need Jesus. Verse 3: I need Jesus, I need Him to the end; No one like Him, He is the sinner's friend; I need Jesus, no other friend will do; So constant, kind, so strong and true, Yes, I need Jesus.
