I'll Be a Friend to Jesus

Verse 1
They tried my Lord and Mas­ter,
With no one to de­fend;
Within the halls of Pi­late
He stood with­out a friend. (Matt. 26:56, Mark 14:50)

Chorus
I’ll be a friend to Je­sus,
My life for Him I’ll spend;
I’ll be a friend to Je­sus,
Until my years shall end.

Verse 2
The world may turn against Him, (John 15:18)
I’ll love Him to the end; (John 13:1)
And while on earth I’m liv­ing,
My Lord shall have a friend.

Verse 3
I’ll do what He may bid me,
I’ll go where He may send; (John 20:21, Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15)
I’ll try each fly­ing mo­ment,
To prove that I’m His friend.

Verse 4
To all who need a Sav­ior,
My friend I re­com­mend;
Because He brought sal­va­tion,
Is why I am His friend. (John 15:13-15)
