Friends in Jesus

Friends in Jesus, how well should we know.

If you're gonna spend forever in heaven with me,

we might as well get along here below.

He's not too impressed, not too impressed I fear.

With the way we've been doing things here.

And when this life ends and the next begins,

I want to hear you say,

Hello friend, friend in Jesus!

Hello friend, friend in Jesus!

Friends in Jesus, How are we doing today?

If he knows our hearts and through our souls he sees,

what answer can we give and what can we say?

CHORUS

Friends in Jesus, I'll be one, how about you?

I'm one of the least of these my brethren don't you see?

To be a friend to Jesus I have to be a friend to you!

Lord bless us, Lord bless us I pray.

We need your spirit, more and more each day.

And when this life ends and the next begins,

I want to hear you say,

Hello friend, friend in Jesus!

Hello friend, friend in Jesus!
