I came to a point in my life everything looked so bleak

My health situation was so grim I could barely speak

I got so down and out I had to turn to my best friend...

On my knees, arms outstretched, I thought it was the end.

With tears in His eyes, He said to me

" Rise up, rise up my friend.'

He placed my hands in His wounds,

He told me, " it is not the end."

"It's a bend in the road; a moment of truth;

A turning point in your life.

You know you can count on me even when there is no strife.

I am always here for you; I am Jesus;

I am your Best Friend.

I was there in the beginning; I am there in the middle;

I will be there in the end,

My name is Jesus Christ; I am the Son of God...

I gave my life on the cross for you,

I didn't shed my precious blood

Because I had nothing else to do.

I am Jesus Christ; I am your Best Friend;

I didn't have to die that faithful day,

I could've changed everything;

I have the power, my friend, I could've walked away.

But I chose to carry the cross; I chose to suffer;

I chose to die on Calvary...

With arms outstretched,

My Precious Blood, was shed to redeem thee

No greater love than this has any man shown;

I died on the cross for thee

My love is unconditional;

My love is free;

I am your Best Friend through eternity."
