Jesus is a friend of mine Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine I have a friend in Jesus
Jesus is a friend of mine 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 instrumental 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 mountie, 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

Jesus is a friend of mine Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine I have a friend in Jesus

Jesus is a friend of mine Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine I have a friend in Jesus

Jesus is a friend of mine J-J-J-Jesus Jesus is a friend of mine
