what a friend we have in jesus (you are my friend)

what a friend we have

we have in jesus

all our sins and griefs to bear

oh

what a privilege it is to carry

carry

everything to god in prayer

you are my friend

my friend

i never knew till then

a friend

my friend

my friend

hold my hand

my hand

might i say a word but i see your tears when i show my pain

the load you helped me to carry on

yes it does

sometimes i feel i'm weak

feel like all my hope is gone

my future looks bright to me

yes it does

you are my friend

i never knew

i didn't realize until then

you are my friend

i tried to find you every where i looked

but one day

i heard the word of god

and i saw my friend

i go on

i go 'round

i go 'round

whoa

i've been looking around

and you were here all the time

i go 'round

i go round

i go on

whoa

i've been looking

and you were here all the time

i go on

i go 'round

go on

whoa

i've been looking around

and you were here all the time

what a friend we have in lord

all my sins and grief's to bear

what a privileged to carry

everything to god in prayer

been around

been looking around

been looking around

i've been looking around

and you were here all the time
