OH, IT’S GREAT, GREAT, BRILL, BRILL,
Wicked, wicked, skill, skill,
To have a friend like Jesus.
Great, great, brill, brill,
Wicked, wicked, skill, skill,
To have a friend like Him.
(Repeat)
He’s always there,
He always listens,
He always hears me when I talk to Him.
He loves me now
And will forever,
I’ll choose Him every day, day, day.
