Lyrics

Verse 1

They tried my Lord and Master,

With no one to defend,

Within the halls of Pilot

He stood without a friend.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

I'll do what He may bid me,

I'll go where He may send;

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 bro't salvation,

Is why I am His 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.
