Jesus Is My Neighbor

Representative Text

1 Jesus is my neighbor,
He lives next door to me.
My house is open to Him,
I've given Him the key.
We sit before the fireside,
As happy as can be,
He seems to understand me,
He lives next door to me.

2 Jesus is my neighbor,
He lives next door to me.
His house is always open,
He's given me the key.
Since I have called upon Him,
I've really come to see,
That Jesus understands me,
And lives next door to me.

3 Come and live with Jesus,
The open door stands wide.
You'll find the love of Jesus,
When you have stepped inside.
It's home for ev'ry wand'rer
And rest from ev'ry sin,
Oh! come and live with Jesus,
You're welcome, come right in.
