Alan Jackson Classic Hymn: “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”

This is a soulful rendition of the classic hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” by Country music superstar, Alan Jackson. This Christian hymn originally written by preacher Joseph M. Scriven as a poem in 1855 to comfort his mother, who was living in Ireland while he was in Canada. The tune to the hymn was composed by Charles Crozat Converse in 1868.

About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family, and as a teenager he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess. In 1989, Jackson became the first artist signed to Arista’s new country division. Jackson’s debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of four Top Five hits: the title cut, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” “Wanted,” and the first of many chart-toppers, “I’d Love You All Over Again.” He shot to full-fledged superstardom with the follow-up, 1991’s Don’t Rock the Jukebox, whose title track was an inescapable number one smash that year.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Song by Alan Jackson

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Longing For Home Lyrics

When I was young, I was a dreamer
I thought this world was mine to own
And every day was an adventure
All mine to claim
I’d make a name
That all would know

Verse Two:
Then as I grew I longed for comfort
To taste the things this world affords
But at their best, those things were fleeting
A gnawing grew
Inside I knew
There must be more

Verse Three:
And now I find myself here thinking
How sweet this life has been to hold
But through it all the pain, the blessings
There’s been a pull
To leave this world
For streets of gold

Chorus:
Now I’m longing for home
Yes, I’m longing to be where I belong
I love the life I’ve lived
But I know soon it will be gone

That’s why I’m longing for home

Because He Lives Lyrics

Song by The Oak Ridge Boys

God sent His son and they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and He died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to
Prove my Savior lives

Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
My life is worth a living
Just because He lives

Then one day I’m gonna cross that river
I’m gonna fight life’s final
Life’s final war with pain
And then as death someday
Gives way to victory
I’m gonna see those lights of glory
And know that my Savior reigns

Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
My life is worth a living
Just because He lives
My life is worth a living
Just because He lives

We’ll Soon Be Done With Troubles And Trials

Song by Bill & Gloria Gaither

Some of these days I’m going home
Where no sorrows ever come,
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
Safe from Heartaches, pain and care,
We shall all that glory share,
And I’m gonna sit down beside my Jesus,
Sit down and rest a little while.

Refrain:
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials,
Yes, in that home on the other side,
And I’m gonna shake glad hands with the elders,
Tell my kindred good morning,
Then I’m gonna sit down beside my Jesus,
Gonna sit down and rest a li’l while.

Kindred and friends now wait for me,
Soon their faces I shall see,
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
‘Tis a home of Life so fair
And we’ll all be gathered there,
And I’m gonna’ sit down beside my Jesus,
Sit down and rest a little while.

I shall behold his blessed face,
I shall feel his matchless grace,
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
O what peace and joy sublime
In that home of love divine,
And I’m gonna’ sit down beside my Jesus,
Sit down and rest a little while.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

By Alan Jackson

O soul are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free

Turn you eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conquerors we are

And turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

His word shall not fail you, He promised
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell

And turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You

Alan Jackson

If I surveyed all the good things that come to me from above
If I count all the blessings from the storehouse of love
I’d simply ask for a favor of him beyond mortal king
And I’m sure that he’d grant it again
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you

So many places of beauty we long to see here below
But time and treasures have kept us from making plans as you know
But come the morning of the rapture together we’ll stand anew
While I stroll over Heaven with you
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you

I want to stroll over Heaven with you

Because He Lives Lyrics

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

And then one day, I’ll cross the river,
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to victory,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

Just a Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Randy Travis

I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long as I walk
Dear Lord, close to Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toils and snares
If I falter Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

When my feeble life is o’er
And time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom dear Lord, to Thy shore.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
