You don't need to have it all
You don't even need a lot
You don't need to be a doctor
A judge or astronaut
You don't need to be a hero
You don't need a lot of cash
You don't need a fancy car
You don't need to be a smash
You need someone you can count on
Someone you can trust
Someone who is loving
And your life you would entrust

[CHORUS]
It's not who you are
It's who you know
It's not where you've been
It's where you'll go
It's not how you look
It's how you see
It's not what you want
It's what you need
What you need is a friend

A victim or a villain
Your life has been a mess
Your past is full of sorrow
You've had nothing but distress
It don't matter if you're poor
It don't matter if you're weak
It don't matter if the years
Have been hard on your physique
There's someon you can go to
Who can save you from your sins
Jesus is your friend
No matter where you've been

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
I am the way the truth the life
And theres no other way to the Father except by Me

You don't need to be a cool boy
You don't need to be his girl
You don't need to be the winner
You don't need to rule the world
You need a friend
who died for you
A friend above us all
A friend whose name is Jesus
Who can catch you when you fall
