What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What a friend believers have in Jesus, yes what a friend forevermore,

What a friend you'd have in Jesus, indeed my friend He's at the door.

He's a friend so kind and loving; is the one thing I must underscore,

For He's a friend unlike any other, for His love will forever endure.



What other friend would suffer and die a wicked death upon a tree,

His death was more than just an effort to be a friend for eternity.

Through His death He cleansed my soul and forever He set me free,

Free to have His friendship now and be with Him through all eternity.



He's a friend, who's always at my side with a faithful helping hand,

And His loving friendship never wavers in this troubled weary land.

He is The Eternal Rock of Ages, when I find myself in shifting sand,

And when I lose my footing, He firmly holds me and helps me stand.



Not even knowing why or when, He sought me out to be my friend,

He's unlike any other friend; He promised to be with me to the end.

Not only my sin would He cleanse, as my hurt He will heal and mend.

And so I wouldn't stray again, I have The Spirit He promised to send.



In a trial I'm not denied, He says let's reason together, you and I,

So with a heavy heart I can not hide, I enter His Throne up on High.

God's Grace, is the reason why, through His blood I am not denied,

And because of His love I can't deny, that I am His and He is mine.

to know he's by yourside and you walk within the light each day is a love that can never pass away. This was uplifting and beautiful. I love it. Bobbie
