What a Friend
K.D. Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit
And oh what needless pain we bear
All because it's easy to forget
We can take everythingΒ to God in prayer

Imma take it to Jesus
Imma take it to Jesus
Imma take it to Jesus
Imma take it to Jesus

There are trials and there areΒ temptations
Seems there's trouble everywhere
My friend please don't be discouraged
We can take everything to God in prayer

It seems it's hard to find one faithful
Who inΒ all our sorrows share
But Jesus knows are every weakness
Because we take everything to God in prayer

I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus
I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus
I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus
I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus
I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus
I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus
I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus
I am weak
And heavy laden
You're my only solace
I'm calling, You, Jesus

Line by Line Meaning

And I never thought I'd feel this way
I am surprised to be feeling love in this way


And as far as I'm concerned
In my opinion


I'm glad I got the chance to say
I am happy to have expressed my feelings to you


That I do believe I love you
I truly feel that I love you


And if I should ever go away
In case I ever have to leave


Well then close your eyes and try
Try to remember our moments together


To feel the way we do today
To feel the same love we feel for each other today


And then if you can remember
And if you are able to recall


Keep smiling, keep shining
Keep up a cheerful and bright attitude


Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
You can always rely on me, that's a promise


That's what friends are for
That's why friends exist and why we protect each other


For good times and bad times
In happy and upsetting moments


I'll be on your side forever more
I will always be there and support you


That's what friends are for
That's the purpose of true friendship


Well you came in loving me
You started off loving me


And now there's so much more I see
And now I see a lot more in you


And so by the way I thank you
I want to say thank you, by the way


Oh and then for the times when we're apart
And if we have to be separated


Well then close your eyes and know
Remember that you are always in my thoughts


The words are coming from my heart
These words express my sincere feelings for you


And then if you can remember
If you can recall these feelings
