Oh What a Friend
(Nate Brown)
You are my friends if you obey me. I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. (John 15.14,15 )
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our Sins and grief to bare
What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit, (we forfeit)
Oh what needless pains we bare (all the pain we bare)
All because we do not carry every thing to God in prayer
Have we trails and temptation,(yes you know we do)
Is there trouble anywhere (trouble’s ever where)
We should never be discourage, take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful ,(so faithful)
Who will all our sorrows share (and you know His name)
Jesus knows our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer
Chorus(x2)
Oh what a friend, through thick and thin
Until the end, we found a friend in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our Sins and grief to bare
What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit (we forfeit),
Oh what needless pains we bare (the pains we bare)
All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden (I know you’re tired)
Cumbered with a load of care (what will I do?)
Precious Savior still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friend despise forsake thee (hmmmm)
Take it to the Lord in prayer (the Lord in prayer in prayer)
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, thou would find a solace there
Chorus(x2)
Oh what a friend, through thick and thin
Until the end, we found a friend in Jesus
A friend a friend
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our Sins and grief to bare
What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer
Chorus(x2)
Oh what a friend, through thick and thin
Until the end, we found a friend in Jesus
Have we trails and temptations (you know we do)
Is there trouble anywhere (trouble’s every where)
We should never be discourage, take it to the Lord in prayer
Chorus(x4) (Adlib)
Oh what a friend, through thick and thin
Until the end, we found a friend in Jesus
