Verse:

I have a friend I've known for a long long time
I watched him on his downhill slide
See the bottle was getting the best of him
Still his family needed the rest of him
I still can't see
Why they turned to me

Chorus:

I was sure I couldn't help them, maybe someone else?
Someone with a PHD in mental health
As I looked at how much more he stood to lose
It hit me, what would Jesus do?

Verse:

Had no idea what to do or say
Tossed lines at my rearview all the way
Like, Dan we really need to chat
And, Your wife and baby need you back
They sounded trite
Would I get it right?
 


Chorus:

Would he even want to hear about that hellhound on his trail?
Pride is strong, even when the will becomes so frail
I thought about how much he stood to lose
It drove me...what would Jesus do?

Bridge:

Would he just stand back and watch a good friend stumble
Or say, he should help himself, it's not my trouble
Then I thought about the man up on that cross
And all he sacrificed for all of us

Verse:

I have a friend I've known for a long long time
He's found the strength for his uphill climb
He came to church with his wife today
Prepared to give his life away
To God's only son
See, He's the one

Chorus:

The One who lent me faith when I didn't have enough
He used me as His instrument of hope and love
On my heart he wrote His answer to
My burning question, what would Jesus do?

What would Jesus do?
