When you're down and troubled

And you need some loving care

And nothing, nothing seems going right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up, even your darkest night



You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer, or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yes I will

You've got a friend



If the sky above you

Should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind begins to blow

Just keep your head together

And call my name out loud

And soon you'll hear me knocking upon your door



You just call out my name...



Now ain't it good to know

That you've got a friend

When people can be so cold

They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you

And take your soul if you let them

But don't you let them



You just call out my name...



Ain't it good to know

Sister you've got a friend

You've got a mighty good friend in Jesus

Brother you've got a friend

Just call his name out loud

You've got a friend
