You told me that you wanted somebody to talk to

You told me that you needed a friend

You told me that you wanted somebody to stay with you

Somebody to stick with you to the end



So let me introduce you to someone who knows you

He knew you before you got your name

Hes closer than a brother more than your father

And all youve got to do is call his name



Dance! shout!

Come on everybody lets turn his praises out

Dance! shout!

Come on everybody its all worked out



Its all so very simple! its all so very plain!

You dont need nobody to explain!

When you believe in your heart that jesus is lord

You will know for yourself that youve been born again!



When we get to glory we will tell the story

Of how we lived in this world below

My soul will look back and wonder

How I made it over

But when I see his face thats when I will know
