I want to be a help to Jesus everyday
I want His light to shine on everything I do or say
I want His love to always be my daily guide
Every minute I want Jesus by my side

Yes I want Jesus by my side when I feel blue
I know I’ll never have another friend that is so true
How good to know that in my heart His love abides
Every minute I want Jesus by my side

I have no riches but that matters none at all
He’s always standing by to help me when He hears my call
And not one thing that I’ve asked Him for has been denied
Every minute I want Jesus by my side

Yes I want Jesus by my side when I feel blue
I know I’ll never have another friend so true
How good to know that in my heart His love abides
Every minute I want Jesus by my side
