Are these the lyrics you remember?
Jesus, Is my high tower
a light in a dark hour
Without Him, I could not see
He is closer than a brother
Above Him there's no other
Without Him, Where would I be
Oh Jesus, What a friend is He
Chorus
He is the Rock upon which I stand
He is present help in time of need
When this whole world has left me all alone
I can feel Him walking right by me
When Everyone walks out, That's when He walks in
Proven once again that He's my dearest Friend
And he Promised He would go with me always
Even to the end
Just as long as this world stands
He promised he would hold my hand
so I'll never walk alone
He said, He would go with me always through good time and through bad days
He will be my Friend and Guide
Oh, Jesus, Your the Best Friend in my Life
