[Verse 1]
Even when I'm walking through the valley of dark shadows
Even when I'm overwhelmed beneath the weight of sorrow
Even when I can't outrun my fears and every other hope has disappeared
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
[Chorus]
I've still got Jesus, oh I've still got Jesus
Closer than a brother no matter where I am
When I need an ally in the fight and need to know somebody's on my side
He always steps in, I've always got a friend
[Verse 2]
You can take away all of thе things down here I treasurе (Oh)
You can leave me nothing but the breath inside my lungs
Still I know that I have everything (Oh)
I can lift my empty hands and sing
At the end of the day (Oh) with joy I can say (I can say)
[Chorus]
I've still got Jesus, oh I've still got Jesus (I've still got Jesus)
Closer than a brother no matter where I am (No matter where I am)
When I need an ally in the fight and need to know somebody's on my side
He always steps in, I've always got a friend
[Bridge]
Who's standing at the ready
When this life gets too heavy
He's there (He's there)
He's there (He's there)
He's there (Oh)
Friend who stood right where I'm standing
So no matter what I'm handed
He's there, He's there, He's there
[Chorus]
I've still got Jesus, oh I've still got Jesus
Closer than a brother no matter where I am (No matter where I am)
And when I need an ally in the fight and need to know somebody's on my side (Oh, I need You, Lord)
He always steps in, I've always got a friend
He always steps is, I've always got a friend
Always got a friend
Ooh
