There's One Above All Earthly Friends
"This is my beloved, and this is my friend." - Song 5:16
VERSE 1
There's one above all earthly friends
Whose love all earthly love transcends,
It is my Lord and Christ divine,
My Lord because, I know He's mine.
CHORUS
I know He's mine, this friend so dear,
He lives with me, He's ever near,
Ten thousand charms around Him shine,
And best of all, I know He's mine.
VERSE 2
He's mine because He died for me
He saved my soul, He set me free,
With joy I worship at His shrine,
And cry, "Praise God," I know He's mine.
CHORUS
I know He's mine, this friend so dear,
He lives with me, He's ever near,
Ten thousand charms around Him shine,
And best of all, I know He's mine.
VERSE 3
He's mine because He's in my heart,
And never, never will we part,
Just as the branch is to the vine,
I'm joined to Christ, I know He's mine.
CHORUS
I know He's mine, this friend so dear,
He lives with me, He's ever near,
Ten thousand charms around Him shine,
And best of all, I know He's mine.
VERSE 4
Some day upon the streets of gold
Mine eyes His glory shall behold
Then while His arms around me twine,
I'll cry for joy, "I know He's mine."
CHORUS
I know He's mine, this friend so dear,
He lives with me, He's ever near,
Ten thousand charms around Him shine,
And best of all, I know He's mine.
