Jesus Is My Friend Chords by Washington Phillips

_ The subject of this lecture, Jesus is my friend.
Jesus is my backer, stands by me day by day, and when I need his blessings, all I've got
to do is to pray.
When I was laying at hell's dark door, there full of sin, he opened his door of mercy,
and there he's taken me in.
And ever since I've been in Jesus, and shuck a loose from sin, the world can be my enemy,
but Jesus is my friend.
He left the doors of heaven on the count of love, he did his work as a savior, and went
back home above.
What a friend we have in Jesus.
You know that's a very strange, now whilst I've got my instrument, that's a song that
I believe I'll sing.
