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.

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.

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, (Yes, I choose my Savior always, helpful friend,) ) What I need I know that He will send; (What I need to know that surely He to me will freely send;) I have proved Him Good and true is He; (I have proved Him o'er and o'er, And always good and true is He;) I choose Jesus, (Yes, I choose my Savior dear,) He is the best for me. (of all for me.)
