Sweet Jesus, my Savior, You are my faithful friend
You made me, You know me, You've seen my every sin
and my soul is amazed by this gift of Your grace
and these arms that take me in
Sweet Jesus, my Savior, You are my faithful friend
Sweet Jesus, my Shelter, You are my faithful friend
the refuge that i run to when my world comes closing in
why should i be afraid when i know i am saved by the arms that take me in
Sweet Jesus, my Shelter, you are my faithful friend
Sweet Jesus (Sweet Jesus) my Shepherd (my Shepherd)
You are my faithful friend
You hold me, You lead me, I'll follow till the end
and once more i will say on that beautiful day when Your arms take me in
Sweet Jesus, my Shepherd, You are my faithful friend
Sweet Jesus, my Savior You are my faithful friend
