Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege we can carry
Everything to Him in prayer
Oooh
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know thus sayeth the Lord
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
For He's proven o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh for grace to trust Him more
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sure did save a wretch like me
I was lost until you found me
I was blind but now I see
Ooh, ohh, ooh
I was lost until you found me
I was blind but now I see
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a home that's waitin' for me
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
There's a home that's waitin' for me
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Ooh
Ooh
