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

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 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 the instruments who praise His name

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 a friend of mine
Jesus is a friend of mine

Funky guitar riff

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 mountie, He always gets His man, and He'll zap you any way he can
Zap

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 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
Whooo!

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
