Píseň: He's My Friend 'Til The End

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
In The Beginning
When Your Way
 Get's Dark as Night
 Jesus Will Bring Things
 Out Allright
 For he’s a friend
 I know He is and now
 Until the end


 In my saviour always trust
 Don’t lose your faith
 and hope in disgust
 for he’s a friend
 I know He is now
 Until the end


Oh, he is my friend
 Every day, Lord
 And every step of the way
 When from the Fold I stray
 I know he tenderly
 gathers me in
 I never have to worry
 I know he’s always there to defend
 Jesus is a friend
 Why don’t you try my God now
 Until the end


Times may come when you may doubt
 But Just Have Faith and He'll
 Bring You Out
 He’ll be your friend
 I know he will now
 Until the end


Then one day you’ll see God's face
 After you've run this Christian Race
 He’ll be your friend
 I know He will now
 until the end


Lord,
 God is my friend
 Every day, Lord
 And every step of the way
 When From the Fold I may Stray
 I know he tenderly
 gathers me in
 I never have to worry
 I know he’s always there to defend
 Jesus is a friend
 You ought to try my Savior
 Until the end
