Any Friend of Jesus
He was a ragged man.
He was living on the street.
He wore a frown and dirty clothes.
He had no food to eat.
Jesus said he was his friend
And would be for all time.
Any friend of Jesus
Must be a friend of mine.
(Chorus)
If you’re a friend
of Jesus
You are a friend of
mine—
No matter what your
circumstance,
No matter what your
sign.
I’m not here to
judge you
Or criticize you
kind.
If you’re a friend
of Jesus,
You are a friend of
mine.
He lived in a prison cell.
He did not look like me.
We had one thing in common:
We both wanted to be free.
Jesus came and called him friend;
So, freedom he could find.
Any friend of Jesus
Must be a friend of mine.
He was crippled with disease—
An outcast in the land.
His flesh and bone were wasted.
He could not even stand.
Jesus said he was his friend.
He’d not leave him behind.
Any friend of Jesus
Must be a friend of mine.
She made her home under a bridge.
Our worlds were far apart.
She had every thing she owned
In a shopping cart.
She, too, is a child of God;
And Jesus is her sign.
Any friend of Jesus
Must be a friend of mine.
(Final Chorus)
If you’re a friend
of Jesus, friend,
You are a friend of
mine—
No matter what
you’re looking for,
No matter what you
find.
I’m not here to
change you
Or say you’re out
of line.
If you’re a friend
of Jesus, friend,
You are a friend of
mine.
