Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

He taught me how to live my life as it should be

He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me

I've had friends before, and I can tell you that

He's one that'll never leave you flat!

Chorus

 He taught me how to pray, and how to save my soul

He taught me how to praise my God and still play rock 'n' roll

The music may sound different, but the message is the same

It's just my instrumental "praise his name"!

Chorus

 Jesus is a friend of mine, Jesus is a friend of mine

 Once I tried to run, I tried to run and hide

But Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside

He is like a mountie; he always gets his man

And he'll zap you any way he can, ZAP!

Chorus

 He loves me when I'm right; he loves me when I'm wrong

He loves me when I waste my time my writing silly songs

He loves me when I'm quiet and I have nothing to say

He'll love me when I'm perfect if I ever get that way

Chorus
