So heavy laden and burdened down 

I did not know just what to do 

so I went and I prayed for strength to endure

Jesus said He still, I will see you through



So I tried Him and I know Him

He'll stick closer than any brother

Oh, I tried Him and I know Him

He's been better to me than I've been to myself

There could never be a friend as dear to me as Jesus



So when you go through your trials and cares

Please don't look, don't look to men for they'll let you down

Just remember there is just one

who will go with till the end

His name is Jesus, my Jesus

He'll tell you what, why and whenI tried Him, I know him He has never failed me yet I tried Him, I know Him He will be your constant friend There could never be a friend as dear to me as Jesus There could never be a friend as dear to me as You I tried Him, I know Him There could never be a friend as dear to me as Jesus
