Jesus Was There

On a night long ago I lay far from sleep
I was lost and all alone and Lord
Sure in need of a friend that I could trust
And take my troubles to
Oh the friend came and went
And troubles only grew

So I looked back upon my life
And all my sinful ways
And in the dark of that night
I could see clear as day
Oh that I was not alone
And lost without a prayer
For I opened my eyes and Jesus was there

Jesus was there in the still of that night
Oh my Jesus was there an old friend that
I had left out of my life
So when I wakened I just looked back
On that night oh so drear
And I thank God that Jesus was there
