Thank You Lord for Your courage and love in my life.
Maseru, Lesotho
Oh! What a friend we have in Jesus, each time life throws you in bushes with thorns or over the hot lava, when you kneel down and call unto Him, definately He comes to our aid. All we have to do is to shout to the top of our lungs and say "God You're mighty, You're worthy to be praised, glory, glory unto YOU"

This hymn is such a blessing to me, thanks that I can always find whatever hymn I love to sing early in the morning when I start my day.

The ministration of lyrics of the song is always new and so soul lifting for me. It is prayer to me every time I hear it. I bless God for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that brought about this for mankind. Thank You Jesus.
