You've Got a Friend in Jesus
Finding Solace: Embracing the Meaningful Message of 'You've Got a Friend in Jesus'
Lyrics
Everybody!
Invitation to everybody to pay attention.
They say there's a man a'coming
There is talk about a man who is anticipated.
And he walks on water
Referencing a miraculous act often associated with Jesus.
And makes a blind man see
Another miracle attributed to Jesus, highlighting his abilities.
All the good people!
Including and calling out to all morally upright individuals.
Little boys and girls
Referring to children.
All the creatures in the whole wide world
Encompassing all living beings on the planet.
You've got a friend
Assuring that Jesus is a supportive companion.
If you're feeling down
When feeling low or sad.
And you're acting real blue
When one's mood is melancholic.
Who do you call?
Asking who to turn to in times of trouble.
You've got a friend in Jesus
Affirming that Jesus can be relied upon as a friend in need.
Down by the water, The Sea of Galilee
Referencing a specific location where significant events occurred in Jesus' life.
He took 5 loaves of bread and 2 little fish
Describing a famous miracle of Jesus, feeding a multitude with minimal resources.
And fed 5,000 people in need
Highlighting Jesus' compassion and ability to help those in need.
Mighty winds are a'blowing
Imagery of turbulent times or challenges.
Jesus calms the storm
Referring to a biblical event where Jesus brings peace to a storm.
He heals the sick and the broken
Emphasizing Jesus' healing powers for the ill and broken-hearted.
Yes he does
A reaffirmation of Jesus' ability to heal and mend.
They hang him up on the cross
Depicting Jesus' crucifixion.
They don't understand his kind of love
Perceived misunderstanding of Jesus' sacrificial love.
Don't you know he died for us
Highlighting Jesus' sacrifice for humanity.
So we can be free, baby
Stating Jesus' sacrifice led to human freedom.
You've got a friend in Jesus
Reiterating the assurance of Jesus' friendship and support.
