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
