I have found a dear Friend

Jesus is the best Friend and Helper we could ever ask for. This Christian song was written as a reminder of Jesus’ immense love and capacity to help in every situation. It is written by Arne K. Kristoffersen and sung here by Amy Thomas.

I have found a dear Friend who can save us;
He can comfort each sorrowing soul.
He does all things so well, and He gave us
All we need to be spiritually whole.

In God's house there are praises and gladness.
There with Jesus I'm happy and blest,
And I'm safe from this world and its sadness,
Like a bird so content in its nest.

In my heart I was sorry and grieving,
But my Friend saw my heart's yearning need,
Gently calling, "I'm here, start believing.
I have died so from sin you'd be freed."

In God's house there are praises and gladness.
There with Jesus I'm happy and blest,
And I'm safe from this world and its sadness,
Like a bird so content in its nest.

Now my soul with great joy is enraptured,
Since I found this true Friend from above.
With His goodness my heart He has captured—
How I long to return His great love!

In God's house there are praises and gladness.
There with Jesus I'm happy and blest,
And I'm safe from this world and its sadness,
Like a bird so content in its nest.

In God's house there are praises and gladness.
There with Jesus I'm happy and blest,
And I'm safe from this world and its sadness,
Like a bird so content in its nest.
