[A] Jesus, [E] [A] Jesus,
[E] He was [A] my [E] grandmother's friend, [A] Jesus,
[E] He was my [F#m] [E] mother's friend, [A] Jesus,
And [E] some years [A] ago, y'all, Jesus,
When I [C#] was [E] down and crying out, [A] Jesus,
I didn't have [E] no God on my side, [A] Jesus,
God [E] left us free, [A] Jesus,
And oh, he [E] never left me alone, [A] Jesus,
Tell you what, I [Em] [E] even [A] feel him right [E] now, [A] Jesus,
Can I get a [Em] witness, anybody feel him right [E] now, [A] Jesus,
Oh, [E]
[A] [Em] [A] Jesus,
Is there anybody [Em] in this field, [A] Jesus,
That's on [E] first name basis with him, [A] Jesus,
Why don't you do [Em] yourself [A] a favor, [E] [A] Jesus,
Get up out of your seat and begin to [E] call on that name, [A] Jesus,
That name that happens to [E] be above everything, [A] Jesus,
If you know [E] him, let me hear you sing, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, [Em] Jesus,

He's a mighty [E] good sister, Jesus,
Can I get a witness, he's been a mighty good [Em] brother for me, Jesus,
[Bm] Now it's [D#] not [E] that he didn't hear [Em] me, [E] Jesus,
[Bm] When [Em] I first [E] called on his name, Jesus,
But look, every time that I call on him, Jesus,
[Em] Nothing or nobody [A] remains the [Bm] same, [C#] Jesus,
Can I tell y'all that when I [E] call on his name, [Em] Jesus,
Things begin to change, [E] Jesus,
Somebody help [D] me call him, [Em] somebody say, Jesus, Jesus,
[F#m] Come on, help me [E] call him, Jesus, [Em] [C#m] Jesus,
[C#] Is [E] he, will he make a way for you, yes he will,
Let me ask you, will he make a way, I don't know, [Em] yes he will,
[D#] Will [E] he pick you up, Jesus,
Anybody know what I'm talking about, won't he turn you around, [C#] Jesus,
I got to ask you, won't he place your feet, Jesus,
Place them on a solid ground, Jesus,
[Bm] If you call [D#] him and you need [E] him from your [C#] heart, God will make a way out of no way,
Just lift up your voice [E] and say, [C#] Jesus, Jesus,
[F#m] [E] He'll take your sin, he will, [Em] [A] Jesus,
Anybody [Bm] in here [Em] read your Bible, anybody here read [B] your Bible,

Oh, he's my friend, he's my [E] friend,
[Em]
[A] [Bm] [C#] What a friend we have in Jesus,
You don't [A] have to [G] say it real loud, [Em] [Bm] but if you know [D#] for [E] yourself that God will [Bm] make a way,
[Em] Well, there seems to be no way, when you [Bm] call on that name, [Em] he'll make things change for you,
Just say it like it is, Jesus, [Bm] [C#] Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus,
Tell somebody, say, [E] he's a [A] [Bm] healer, [E] Jesus,
[A] [Bm] [A] Say, he's a way [Bm] maker, [Em] Jesus,
[Bm] Let me [C#] ask y'all, [E] who are you talking about, Jesus,
[Bm] Somebody [C#] tell me, who are you talking about, Jesus,
Say, Jesus, Jesus,
Won't he make a way for ya, Jesus,
Won't he make it [E] all right for ya, [Em] Jesus,
[Bm] Wave your [Em] hand and say, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus,
