He's Everything to Me

Representative Text

1 I have an ever present Friend,
Who loves and cares for me;
And He is always kind and true;
How can I faithless be?

Refrain:
I’ll always trust my Saviour,
And ever faithful be;
I’ll never cease to love Him,
For He’s everything to me.

2 He comforts when the trials come;
He lifts the load of care;
He shields me from temptation when
I can no longer bear. [Refrain]

3 He says that whosoever will,
May come to Him today,
And taste of His redeeming love,
And live with Him alway. [Refrain]
