Representative Text

1 Do you live a life that's true for the One who died for you?
Have you really been a friend to Him?
Have the deeds that you have done been for Christ the blessed One?
Have you really been a friend to Him?

Refrain:
Have you really been a friend to Jesus?
Do you falter when the pathy is dim?
Have you really stood the test, have you really done your best?
Have you really been a friend to Him?

2 When you sit alone and pray at the end of e'vry day
Have you really been a friend to Him?
Have you bravely faced the task, done the things He kindly asked?
Have you really been a friend to Him? [Refrain]

3 Are you walking with the Lord according to His word?
Have you really been a friend to Him?
Have you tried and tried again for some precious souls to win?
Have you really been a friend to Him? [Refrain]
