You see my fears
I'm not alone
When I need a friend
You take my hand
I'm not alone
If the trials come
Lord, You lift me up
And hold me close
I'm not alone
You're my friend
Like no other
You have become the air I breathe
Jesus more than any other thing
You are life and hope to me
In the dark of night
You are my light
I'm not alone
Doubt may come my way
Your love remains
I'm not alone
If all begins to fade
Then Your marcy like the sun will rise
Lord, You lift me up
And hold me close
I'm not alone
You're my friend
Like no other
You have become the air I breathe
Jesus more than any other thing
You are life and hope to me
You're my friend
Like no other
You have become the air I breathe
Jesus more than any other thing
You are life and hope to me
Mokozi wangu ni yeye
Rafiki wangu ni yeye
Tumaini langu ni yeye Yesu
Mokozi wangu ni yeye
Rafiki wangu ni yeye
Tumaini langu ni yeye Yesu
Mokozi wangu ni yeye
Rafiki wangu ni yeye
Tumaini langu ni yeye Yesu
Mokozi wangu ni yeye
Rafiki wangu ni yeye
Tumaini langu ni yeye Yesu
Mokozi wangu ni yeye
Rafiki wangu ni yeye
Tumaini langu ni yeye Yesu
Mokozi wangu ni yeye
Rafiki wangu ni yeye
Tumaini langu ni yeye Yesu
You're my friend
Like no other
You have become the air I breathe
Jesus more than any other thing
You are life and hope to me
You're my friend
Like no other
You have become the air I breathe
Jesus more than any other thing
You are life and hope to me
Lord, You lift me up
And hold me close
I'm not alone
