When I was drifting out in sin
I had no peace, no joy within
But Jesus came and made me glad
The dearest friend I ever had
He saved my soul; oh, bless His name
I'll never forget the day He came
He makes me glad when I am sad
The dearest friend I ever had
O sinner come to Jesus now
And at His feet just humbly bow
He'll save your soul and make you glad
The dearest friend you'll ever have
He saved my soul; oh, bless His name
I'll never forget the day He came
He makes me glad when I am sad
The dearest friend I ever had
