1. They tried my Lord and Master,
With no one to defend;
Within the halls of Pilate
He stood without a friend.

R: 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 flying moment
To prove that I’m His friend.

4. To all who need a Savior,
My Friend I’ll recommend;
Because He brought salvation,
Is why I am His friend.
