O the love of the Lord is a marvelous blend
Of the gift of His Son and the hand of a friend. (repeat)
When you really feel lonely and need a good friend
There’s no one like Jesus He’s there ‘til the end
But His infinite wisdom includes in His plan
A brother or sister to give you a hand
You know it’s so easy to slip and to fall
And once you get down you stay under it all
‘Til a friend comes along who’s already been there
And he turns you around by his counsel and prayer
Sometimes we have problems we can’t understand
We walk in a desert as dry as the sand
We call out to Jesus and ask for some sign
Then the telephone rings and our friend’s on the line.
