What a Friend
Giving to the end
It's more than I'll fully comprehend
Yet it's more than enough knowing
That He is
A Friend indeed
No other Friend
Befriends like my Savior Friend
No other Friend
Took away the weight
Of my sin and shame
What a Friend
To have in time of pain
To hold my hand
When I walk on sinking sand
What a Friend
To provide and defend
To suffice and lend
His Everlasting Arms
As a shield against harm
Sticks closer than a brother
Bears me up on His shoulder
I have a Friend
Who abides forever
He is my Strength
A shelter and boulder
In the storm of the desert
Help of the helpless
What a Friend
In a friendless orb
He does not pretend
When He shows His love.
