WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
ON THE CROSS HE TOOK AWAY OUR SINS
SCORNED AND REJECTED WHILE HE HUNG DYING
TO GIVE US LIFE HE ROSE AGAIN
WHAT A FRIEND, WHAT A FRIEND
FAITHFUL TO THE VERY END
SUCH A LOVE, OH SUCH A LOVE
DEAR LORD WE’RE SO UNWORTHY OF
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
GAVE US FREEDOM FROM GUILT AND SHAME
A SACRIFICE FOREVER PERFECT
ALL HEAVEN EXALTS HIS HOLY NAME
CHORUS
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
OUR TRANSGRESSIONS FELL ON HIM
THERE IS NO LAW TO CONDEMN US
BY FAITH IN CHRIST WE’LL RISE AGAIN
CHORUS 2X
WHAT A FRIEND
The woman with the blood issue for twelve years was desperate and believed that if she could touch Jesus’ cloak she would be healed. As soon as she touched His hem her bleeding stopped and she was healed. When Jesus inquired who touched him, his disciples reminded Jesus that all the people were crowding Him. So why were others not healed who came into contact with Jesus?
Jesus is the door to healing but faith is the key that opens that door (Mt 17:20). A doubting faith will not receive anything from the Lord (Jas 1:6,7). More important than receiving physical healing is to receive spiritual life, believing that Jesus is the door to salvation,who paid for your sins and desires to have an intimate relationship with you.
