When every word has fallen short
I have a savior who reads my heart
He’s not the kind to walk away
He’s not impatient he always stays

He knows my deepest desires
He knows me better than I do

Oh what a friend I have in Jesus
Oh what a friend I’ve found in him
Oh what a privilege to know he’s
Always listening

When I am found in the shadow place
When others can’t know the things I face
There he will tarry there he will wait
His presence with me is my daybreak

He knows my deepest desires
He knows me better than I do

Oh what a friend I have in Jesus
Oh what a friend I’ve found in him
Oh what a privilege to know he’s
Always listening

Jesus Jesus
Jesus Jesus

Oh what a friend I have in Jesus
Oh what a friend I’ve found in him
Oh what a privilege to know he’s
Always listening
