| Chorus:
|
| Jesus is a friend of mine,
|
| (echo) Jesus is my friend,
|
| Jesus is a friend of mine,
|
| (echo) I have a friend in Jesus,
|
| Jesus is a friend of mine
|
| (echo) Jesus is my friend,
|
| Jesus is a friend of mine
|
| He taught me how to live my life as it should be He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me
|
| I’ve had friends before and I can tell you that
|
| He’s one who will never leave you flat
|
| (Chorus)
|
| He taught me how to pray and how to save my soul
|
| He taught me how to praise my God and still play rock and roll
|
| The music may sound different but the message is the same
|
| It’s just an instrument to praise His name
|
| (Chorus)
|
| Jesus is a friend of mine,
|
| Jesus is a friend of mine
|
| Once I tried to run; |
| I tried to run and hide
|
| But Jesus came and found me and He touched me down inside
|
| He is like a mounty; |
| He always gets His man
|
| And He’ll zap you any way He can … ZAP!
|
| (Chorus)
|
| He loves me when I’m right; |
| He loves me when I’m wrong
|
| He loves me when I waste my time by writing silly songs
|
| He loves me when I’m quiet and I have nothing to say |
| He’ll love me when I’m perfect if I ever get that way
|
| (Chorus) |
