Lyrics:

Hungry man too weak to stand
Can't turn the pages of the Bible
How you gonna hook 'im on the Holy Book
When he can't make it to the revival

Jesus is a friend when you're hungry
Jesus is a friend when you're hungry
Hmm hmm he's gonna be a friend to you
Oh Lord come down in a hurry ah the earth's in trouble
And the people in pain been rough so long
We're beginnin' to worry we need a little help can't you come back again
Lonely girl in a cold cruel world lookin' for love and understandin'
Been blind so long by the bright night lights she can't see the angel's landin'
Jesus is a friend when you're lonely Jesus is a friend when you're lonely
Hmm hmm he's gonna be a friend to you
Orphan child just lookin' for a smile tryin' to find a little bit of laughter
Love's gonna bring it and we're all gonna sing it and it's gonna be sweet hereafter
Jesus is your father and you mother and your sister and your brother
And your lover and you and me and you you he's gonna be a friend to you
We will gather at the river beautiful beautiful river
Oh we will gather at the river beautiful river of life
