John 15:13-14 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
The love of Jesus for His people moves Him to lead us into the green pasture and beside the still waters of His Father's will for our lives.
There has never been a greater, nobler or more costly display of love than that selfless moment when Jesus died for us on the cross.
No, Not One!

There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, — No, not one! No, not one! — None else could heal all our soul’s diseases, — No, not one! No, not one!
CHORUS:
Jesus knows all about our struggles, — He will guide till the day is done; — There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, — No, not one! No, not one!
No friend like Him is so high and holy, — No, not one! No, not one! — And yet no friend is so meek and lowly, — No, not one! No, not one! - - -
There’s not an hour that He is not near us, — No, not one! No, not one!—No night so dark but His love can cheer us,— No, not one! No, not one! - - -
Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him? — No, not one! No, not one! — Or sinner find that He would not take him? — No, not one! No, not one! - - -
Was e’er a gift like the Savior given? — No, not one! No, not one! — Will He refuse us a home in heaven? — No, not one! No, not one!
