YOU ARE MY FRIEND

YOU ARE MY FRIEND

By Judy Lee Jenkins

YOU ARE MY FRIEND
Song

EVER SINCE I GOT TO KNOW YOU,
YOU HAVE BEEN MY ONE TRUE FRIEND,
AND THIS I KNOW FOR SURE,
WILL ENDURE UNTIL THE END.

CHORUS

YOU ARE MY FRIEND,
WITH A HELPING HAND TO LEND,
YOU ARE MY FRIEND,
UNTIL THE END.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND,
ON YOU I CAN DEPEND,
TO BE MY TRUE FRIEND,
UNTIL THE END

INTERLUDE

MY WONDROUS FRIEND,
MY CARES DID MEND,
YOU DID THAT ALL FOR ME.

MY WONDROUS FRIEND,
YOU DON’T CONDEMN,
LOVE IN YOU I SEE!!

VERSE 2

LIFE WAS HARD UNTIL I FOUND YOU,
I FELT LOST AND ALL ALONE,
THEN ONE DAY I SAW YOUR MESSAGE
BUT NOT ON MY CELL PHONE.

INTERLUDE–MELODY CHANGE

THERE ON A SHELF, WAS A VERY LARGE BOOK,
DUSTY AND LEATHERBOUND,
WITHIN IT’S PAGES OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN,
THESE HEART FILLED WORDS I FOUND:

CHORUS

“I AM YOUR FRIEND,
YOU I WILL DEFEND,
NO MATTER WHAT
YOU MAY DO,
I’LL NEVER LEAVE YOU!!

“I’M ALWAYS YOUR FRIEND,
ON MY LIFE YOU CAN DEPEND,
NO GREATER LOVE THAT I DO,
THAN TO GIVE IT TO YOU!!”

INTERLUDE

THE WORDS OF JESUS,
SWEET WORDS OF JESUS,
CHANGED MY HEART THAT DAY,
HE DIED FOR ME
ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY,
HE’S MY FRIEND IN EVERY WAY,

CLOSING

IN EVERY WAY, IN EVERY WAY,
JESUS MY FRIEND!!!
