What a Friend we have in Jesus

What a friend is He; the best I ever had. I'm greatful every day for such a mighty Saviour too. The composer of this very true song because it's a very true song may God bless all of my sisters and brothers in Faith, love you all.

Old words with a fresh meaning...go ahead! Take it to the Lord in prayer, watch as the Lord changes your circumstances and you walk in the victory of Christ over the enemy daily.

"Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear!"

...But the Lord is with us the very second we call out His name. He longs to comfort us as a loving parent comforts a precious child. His love for us is beyond human comprehension.

How wonderful to scroll through the comments and see all the countries represented here. All family! Bless you, sisters and brothers wherever you are! Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Thank You Abba Father for giving Your only begotten Son.

Praise the Lord for inspiring these Godly men to compose this wonderful hymn! HE is so faithful! What an inspiration.

This is one of the most wonderful songs of God's great love and goodness towards us! How encouraging and strengthening it is to us who walk with Him in our times of need. And to those who don't know God.....THIS is HE who loves you, and wants YOU to come to Him and cast your burdens on Him, for He TRULY CARES for you! He will forgive you your sins, and cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness, and He will draw you into His loving arms and take away all your pain. He will restore, and heal.......surrender YOUR will to Him, and let the peace of God that surpasses ALL understanding flood your heart and mind. Amen.

It's very great to have much Christian songs.

GOD, is a friend to the friendless. He Loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. If GOD, never do another thing for me, He's ALREADY DONE ENOUGH! THANK YOU, JESUS!

Every time I listen to, or sing this song, I feel like crying. The lyrics and the music are so soothing that I feel Jesus close by. This old gospel song, and others in its category are highly needed for revivals in this age of 'modern Christianity'. This song can drive any one into prayers.

"This old standard hymn has always been a comfort and a strength to people. One reason is that it treats Jesus as a friend, brings Him close, makes Him a part of your life. And Jesus *can* be a friend if you *let* Him. Another reason for the strength of this song is that the author really believed this. I remember we were told in Sunday School that Jesus is not only someone great and far away, but someone friendly and close. The teacher told us that when the author was asked how he had come to write this song, he replied, "The Lord and I did it together." That's what I mean - you can't collaborate unless you're friends. I know enough about song writing to know that." - Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919 - 91)
