Lyrics

V1:
I see that you're empty
Alone and in need
You long for someone to love
Desperate for change
Needing embrace
A grace beyond your pain
Chorus:
When you need a friend
Whom you can lean on
I know someone
Just turn to Jesus
V2:
He will be with you
In the darkest of days
Leading you through the haze
When you're unsure
You can look towards
The source of your hurt
Chorus:
When you need a friend
Whom you can lean on
I know someone
Just turn to Jesus
Interlude/Guitar Solo
V3:
You're tired and torn
Sick of this life
You've reached
The end of the road
It seems hope is gone
I know your heart longs
For a God to hold your tears
Chorus:
When you need a friend
Whom you can lean on
I know someone
Just turn to Jesus
Outro-Chorus:
When you need a friend
Whom you can lean on
I know someone
Won't you turn to Jesus (x3)

I really like the the piano and the keyboard sounds, the lyrics are great and so is the hook, very comforting song for sure!

Like the melody, lyrics, voice and chorus, song proyects calmess and is optimistic. Not being difficult, piano,gives a perfect complement.

This is a beautiful message of course. I generally liked the song and the arrangement

I love the honesty in the singer's voice. The sincerity shines through the whole song. The songwriter paints a good picture of what is going on in the life of a floundering, unsaved person and draws the listener in well. I like the way the instrumentation backs out toward the end of the song, highlighting the vocals. My favorite rhyme: days/haze. This is a great evangelistic song and I hope that it bears much fruit as you sing it for God's glory and the people who need Jesus.
