Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
That friend closer than a brother is Jesus.
He is always by our side. Thank God!
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! — o 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!
