Your burden is heavy, your pathway is drear,
And vainly you seek for comfort and cheer;
Your heart is oppressed and beclouded with fear,-
A personal Savior is just what you need.

Refrain:
Just what you need, just what you need-
A friend who is mindful, who cares for His won,
Who never will leave you in sorrow alone,-
A personal Savior is just what you need.

In search of the pleasures of earth you have strayed,
And, lost in the dark, your soul is afraid;
You want to live better, yet still are dismayed,,-
A personal Savior is just what you need. [Refrain]

The path you have trod was a highway of care,
That led you away from all that was fair;
Sin promised you much, but the end is despair,-
A personal Savior is just what you need. [Refrain]

Let Jesus befriend you, Oh, soul of unrest,
A refuge is He for all the oppressed;
And they who rely upon Him shall be blest,-
A personal Savior is just what you need. [Refrain]
