What a Friend

What a friend we have in Jesus
What a time to have Him near
There is such a joy in knowing
That His smile will lift and cheer
And He offers us more than what
We ever thought could be
Fills us to the brim and more
We know for sure we're of value to Him
And we won't ever be ignored

What a solid rock we stand on
One that cannot slip away
Gives us strength when others falter
If we in His presence stay
And our eyes can see clearly now
What others see as blurred
Thankful that He reached inside
Took out the death we tried to hide

And I would be more than a fool to leave Him
Now that I've looked in His eyes
And seen the reflection of love that never dies

So, just learn to praise Him always
What so richly He deserves
Put your trust in higher places
Make it Jesus that you serve
'Cause He is able to handle more
Than we could ever ask
So, don't keep it to yourself
Hand it to one who in times of despair
Is our ever present help

And I would be more than a fool to leave Him
Now that I've looked in His eyes
And seen the reflection of love that never dies

And I would be more than a fool to leave Him
Now that I've looked in His eyes
And seen the reflection of love that never dies

What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend
