Lyrics

Verse 1
I have found a friend in Je­sus, He’s ev­ery­thing to me, (John 15:13-15)
He’s the fair­est of ten thou­sand to my soul; (Song of Solomon 5:10)
The Lily of the Val­ley, in Him alone I see (Song of Solomon 2:1)
All I need to cleanse and make me ful­ly whole. (I John 1:7, I John 1:9, Matt. 9:22, Matt. 14:36, Matt. 15:28, Matt. 15:31, Mark 5:34, Mark 6:56, Mark 10:52, Luke 8:48, Luke 8:50, Luke 17:19, John 5:4, John 5:6, John 5:9, John 5:11, John 5:14-15, John 7:23, Acts 4:9)
In sor­row He’s my com­fort, in troub­le He’s my stay; (II Cor. 1:3)
He tells me ev­ery care on Him to roll. (I Pet. 5:7, Ps. 55:22)

Chorus
He’s the Li­ly of the Val­ley, the Bright and Morn­ing Star, (Song of Solomon 2:1, Rev. 22:16)
He’s the fair­est of ten thou­sand to my soul. (Song of Solomon 5:10)

Verse 2
He all my grief has tak­en, and all my sor­rows borne; (Isa. 53:4, Matt. 8:17)
In temp­ta­tion He’s my strong and migh­ty tow­er; (Ps. 61:3, Prov. 18:10)
I have all for Him for­sak­en, and all my id­ols torn (Luke 14:33, Phil. 3:7-8, I Thess. 1:9)
From my heart and now He keeps me by His pow­er. (I Pet. 1:5)
Though all the world for­sake me, and Sa­tan tempt me sore, (II Tim. 4:16)
Through Je­sus I shall safe­ly reach the goal. (II Tim. 4:7-8)

Verse 3
He will nev­er, nev­er leave me, nor yet for­sake me here, (Deut. 31:6, Heb. 13:5)
While I live by faith and do His bles­sèd will; (Hab. 2:4, Rom. 1:17, Gal. 2:20, Gal. 3:11, Heb. 10:38)
A wall of fire about me, I’ve no­thing now to fear, (Zech. 2:5)
From His man­na He my hun­gry soul shall fill. (Ps. 107:9, Ex. 16:31-35, Num. 11:6-9, Deut. 8:3, Deut. 8:16, Joshua 5:12, Neh. 9:20, Ps. 78:24, John 6:31, John 6:49, John 6:58, Heb. 9:4, Rev. 2:17)
Then sweep­ing up to glo­ry to see His bless­èd face, (I Thess. 4:16-17, Rev. 22:5, I Cor. 13:12, I John 3:2)
Where the riv­ers of de­light shall ev­er roll. (Ps. 36:8-9, Rev. 22:1-2, Ezek. 47:1-12)
