38. No, Not One!

1 There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus –
No, not one! No, not one!
None else could heal all our soul's diseases –
No, not one! No, not one!

Refrain:
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus –
No, not one! no, not one!

2 No friend like Him is so high and holy –
No, not one! No, not one!
And yet, no friend is so meek and lowly –
No, not one! No, not one! [Refrain]

3 There's not an hour that He is not near us –
No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us –
No, not one! No, not one! [Refrain]

4 Did ever saint find this Friend forsake Him?
No, not one! No, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! No, not one!

5 Was e'er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! No, not one!
Will he refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! No, not one! [Refrain]
