FRIEND LIKE JESUS*

Words & Music by Randy Altermatt
©1972, 2014 Randy Altermatt


IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE A FRIEND LIKE JESUS IN YOUR HEART

A FRIEND WHO SAYS HE NEVER WILL DEPART

IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE A FRIEND LIKE JESUS IN YOUR HEART

A FRIEND WHO SAYS HE NEVER WILL DEPART

IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE A FRIEND LIKE JESUS ALL THE TIME

I  WOULDN'T TRADE HIM FOR EVERY NICKEL AND DIME

ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD COULDN'T BUY MY FRIEND

WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT WILL NEVER END

SO DON'T YOU SELL YOUR SILVER OR YOUR GOLD

WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT OR SOLD

WHEN A NEED A HELPIN' HAND HE'S ALWAYS THERE

HE'S THE REASON I DON'T WORRY ABOUT WORLD AFFAIRS

CHORUS


* Included in this collection because Randy was a member of the Dove Sounds singing group where we all became friends and I met Randy and his wife Debbie (also a member of the group) while living at the home of the late Jim and Barbara Dove, and sometime ministered with them in concert as a soloist.  I loved this song so much, I often performed it in concert, as you are hearing it performed at Hope Chapel, in Hermosa Beach, California.  This song is in tribute to them who played a major role in christening me in concert ministry and touring.
