They tried my Lord . . . and Master
With no one to . . . defend
Within the halls . . . of Pilate
He stood without . . . a friend.
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.
2)
The world may turn . . . against him
I'll love Him to . . . the end
And while on Earth . . . I'm living
My Lord shall have . . . a friend.
3)
I'll do what he . . . may bid me
I'll go where he . . . may send
I'll try each fly . . .ing moment
To prove that I'm . . . His friend.
4)
To all who need . . . a Savior
My Friend I rec . . . ommend
Because He brought . . . salvation
Is why I am . . . His friend.
