What a Friend

By Matt Maher

Everybody has trials 

And temptations 

Everybody knows heart break 

Isolation 


But we can lay our burdens down 

Lay our burdens down 


What a friend we have in Jesus 

East to west my sins are gone 

I see grace on every horizon 

And forever and ever 

His heart is my home 


Everybody has fears 

Everybody got worries 

Everybody knows sorrow 

Devastation 


But we can lay our burdens down 

Lay our burdens down 


What a friend we have in Jesus 

East to west my sins are gone 

I see grace on every horizon 

And forever and ever His heart is my home 


No more betrayal 

For He is faithful 

He fills me up and my cup runneth over 

No more betrayal 

For He is faithful 

How He has proven it over and over 


No more betrayal 

For He is faithful 

He fills me up and my cup runneth over 

No more betrayal 

For He is faithful 

How He has proven it over and over 


What a friend we have in Jesus 

East to west my sins are gone 

I see grace on every horizon 

And forever and ever His heart is my home 


What a friend we have in Jesus 

East to west my sins are gone 

I see grace on every horizon 

And forever and ever 

His heart is my home 

Forever and ever His heart is my home
