What a friend I have in Jesus Christ Who lived sin free laid down His life When life gets hard and friends disappear I can lean on the Lord He is always near Like the woman with an issue of blood When troubles overwhelm emotions flood He will heal with heavenly gold grace Just believe He is real be of good faith Man will fail you for flesh is so weak But within a man one can plant seed A mustard seed of faith shines bright Evict the evil with Christ’s holy light Your enemy will fall like wall of Jericho Upon your call to the Savior of souls God’s love lead me through terrible times I was ill in body and of unstable mind He sent me a Wonderful Counselor indeed And from my trial and tribulation I was free The journey to joy was a long lonely road It was needed to bring me ever so close To my holy healing like the story of Job I lost everything but He returned it ten fold I see in friends that are saint like My rock my Savior Jesus Christ
