Lyrics
Everybody has trials and temptations
Everybody knows heart break, isolation
But we can lay our burdens down (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 (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
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, yeah
I see grace on every horizon
And forever and ever His heart is my home
Forever and ever His heart is my home

About This Song
"What A Friend" is Matt's spin on the hymn "What A Friend We Have In Jesus." It's an exuberant song filled with hand claps and a joy that can only be found in knowing and being known. Matt shares this about the song:
"I'm totally understood in the heart of God. He understands me. The more I know that God understands me, the less I need the world to."
This song will bring much needed encouragement. It's a timeless message, and in a great new package! This song was co-written by the group, I Am They.
"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
