'No, Not One' lyrics
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus– No, not one! no, not one! None else could heal all our soul's diseases– No, not one! no, not one!
Refrain: Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will guide till the day is done; There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus– No, not one! no, not one!
2 No friend like Him is so high and holy– No, not one! no, not one! And yet no friend is so meek and lowly– No, not one! no, not one! [Refrain]
3 There's not an hour that He is not near us – No, not one! no, not one! No night so dark but His love can cheer us– No, not one! no, not one! [Refrain]
4 Was e'er a gift like the Savior given? No, not one! no, not one! Will He refuse us a home in heaven? No, not one! no, not one! [Refrain]
