(verse 1) 
C 
When I was drifting out in sin  
                           G 
I had no peace, no joy within  
          C                Am 
But Jesus came and made me glad  
            C        G    C 
The dearest friend I ever had 

(verse 2) 
C  
When Jesus comes the way is bright 
                                 G 
For He's the Way, the Truth, the Light  
             C            Am 
He cheers me on when I am sad  
            C        G    C 
The dearest friend I ever had

C 
He saved my soul oh bless His name  
                             G 
I'll never forget the day He came  
            C              Am 
He makes me glad when I am sad  
            C        G    C 
The dearest friend I ever had  

(verse 3) 
C  
O sinner come to Jesus now  
                            G 
And at His feet just humbly bow  
                C                 Am 
He'll save your soul and make you glad  
            C             G    C 
The dearest friend you’ll ever have
