Lyrics
Verse 1
When I need someone in time of grief,
Someone my cheer to be,
Jesus I choose, for He gives relief,
He is the best for me.
Verse 2
When I need someone to guide my soul,
Over the stormy sea,
Always to Jesus I give control,
He is the best for me.
Verse 3
When I need help to defeat the foe,
Someone my shield to be,
Always to Jesus in faith I go,
He is the best for me.
Verse 4
When all my trials on earth are o'er,
And the dark stream I see,
Jesus shall bear me to yonder shore,
He is the best for me.
Chorus
I choose Jesus When I need a friend,
What I need I know that He will send;
I have proved Him Good and true is He;
I choose Jesus,
He is the best for me.

Scriptural Foundations
15For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin.
