Once I
felt like a lonely sailor lost on a raging sea
Then I picked myself up, set myself down,
an d had a little talk with me
I was bound by chains of sin,
as lost as a soul can be
That's when I met
Je sus,
Jesus set me free
Jesus is my kind of people
Jesus is my kind of friend
Jesus is my kind of people
From now on I'm gonna be his kind of
man
I'd never known the kind of people
some folks talked about
There seemed to be a fire in me
that wouldn't quite go out
Jesus came into my life and
erased my fears and doubts
Left me standing like a tall old tree,
secure, serene, and stout
Jesus is my kind of people
Jesus is my kind of prayer
Jesus is my kind of people
From now on I'm gonna be
His kind of man
Take it from a man who ought to
know I am the living proof
Of the kind of seed
Jesus sows
And what
His love can do
He lifted me when I was down and out
And
He'll do that for you
Just open up your heart to
Jesus
And
He'll be your friend too
Jesus, is my kind of people
Jesus, is my kind of friend
Je sus, is my kind of people
From the whole family,
His kind of man
Jesus, my kind of people
Jesus, my kind of friend
Jesus, my kind of people
From the home I'm going to,
this kind of man
He's ours, he's my kind of people
He's ours, he's my kind of friend
He's ours, he's my kind of people
