Artist/Band: Skeeter Davis
Lyrics for Song: Try Jesus
Lyrics for Album: Versatile (RCA) [1975]



(Skeeter Davis)



You're tryin' everything from drink to drugs and still you cannot find

The answer to the questions that circle in your mind

Let me tell you bout Jesus and what he'll do for you

He can save your soul from hell and nobody else can do.



That except Jesus

He will be your friend try Jesus he will take you in

He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free

Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus.



As you travel down life's road I'm sure you want to find

The one thing in this troubled world that'll give you peace of mind

If you'll just try Jesus I promise you will see

The meaning of what real peace is and what it's like to be free.



Try Jesus he will be your friend try

Jesus he will take you in

He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free

Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus.



Jesus he will be your friend

Jesus he will take you in

He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free

Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus.



Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus...
