you know i've traveled the world and
i've looked into the eyes of the broken hearted and the lonely
somebody need to know that they have a friend in Jesus
listen

MAIN CHORUS:
well i said you
you have a friend
that will be there
until the end
and all you have to do is
just open your heart and let him in
oh you should know
you have a friend

here we go
somebody didn't have a father
to lead them along the way
oh oh and somebody didn't have a mother
for whatever reason you shouldn't had to go through that pain
oh if you look back over your life
you will realize that God has allways been there
he's been holding your hand yea
to let you know that somebody truly cares

MAIN CHORUS:
Oh! mmm you have a friend
that will allways be there
until the end
all you have to do is
open your heart and let him in
come on you have a friend

whoa! hey! if you find one friend in the world

you should love them like you love yourself
cuz it's hard to find someone you can believe in
and someone you can depend on when you're in need of help
listen
what a friend we have in Jesus
all of our sins that we can bare
what a privilage it is to carry
everything to God in prayer

MAIN CHORUS:
you have a friend
that will be there
until the end
and all you have to do is
open your heart and let him in
oh oh you have a friend

and this is for the boy who has no home
and this is for the lady that's been misused
let me encourage you
you're gonna make it through

CHORUS:

no matter what you're going through

not matter what you're going through

until the end
all you have to do is open your heart
and let him in
