I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend
- I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,
Forever and forever. - I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call,
I hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
Are His, and His forever. - I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
So kind, and true, and tender,
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well,
What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No? I am His forever.

Jan. 21, 2012JovemackNew York, United StatesToday this song struck me hard. Though I sang it for long years since childhood, it has never brought me to tears until this morning in church. I see Jesus doing all the efforts to reaching out to me, I am overwhelmed by His sheer love - I am grateful as long as I have breath. Jesus is so amazing!
