I still love this arrangement. I have been listening to it for about 10 years now
This takes my Consciousness-to a whole new level!
Peaceful and Encouraging
Lord you are such a true friend indeed . Thanks to you my earthly friends for sharing His love through this beautiful thing called music.
I love the old gospel songs! It seems at times we have forsaken them. I will never forsake them.
To God the Lord Jesus Christ be the Glory for another Holy Spirit filled Brother sharing this great gift and your rendition of these heart warming Hymns that I grew up on. Be Blessed.
1 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!
2 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!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge--
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
What a blessing has been when I learned to sing this song in Spanish and English forty years ago.
How soothing yet powerful too.
Loving like just I play - church pianist for over 50 years!! Bless you, Greg!
Greg, love the ministry the Lord has given you. In HIS presence!
What a beautiful song!
Soli Deo Gloria 🙏
You put all the meaning back into these words, and thereby show the true face of our Saviour. Thanks Greg.
Thank you for the lovely music bringing our focus to this wonderful lovely saviour...Always moved me to tears whenever i hear your music. Thanks.
Awesome music just what I need today thank you God bless you and your family peace merry Christmas happy new year
thank you for reminding me of Jesus love and friendship...blessings to you!
Jesus is our friend and our savior He is our Heavenly Father take all your troubles to Him in Prayer He will help and guide you
Listening to your peaceful music this beautiful Sabbath Day. It is only in Jesus we will have peace in the following days of unvertainty
I have been playing this video every week for about two years now. I play it when I pray, read my Bible, and create my sermons. Thanks for letting God use you!
our human voices singing along with this artist playing piano is a foretaste of heaven and glory, open your hearts door wide open and let the sounds resound in God's air we breathe each day here on earth, soon we will be part of the heavenly choir and our voices will be in chorus for an eternity - be still and listen to all of the sounds of not only worded prayer but songs of joy and adoration
I Love Greg's music the best of all!❤
Lindo demais !!!!!
i know this piece for at least 4 years now, and this is always a pleasure to listen to it
Thank you :)
I'm sitting here at the library listening to your music on youtube. If I could do this all day I would. Thanks Mr Howlett.
Thank you so much 💗
Beautiful and worshipful. Oh what a friend we have in Jesus.
Beautiful! So inspiring! I just posted this same hymn a few days ago!
Thanks so much.
What a Friend We Have in Jesus! thank you...
This is the song I always play when I am asked to provide unrehersed "fill" music - I can always rely on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" to be the perfect piece to play at any given moment! This is a beautiful arrangement! Thanks for sharing!
May God bless his music iministry. thiss is what i call music.
JUST BEAUTIFUL......THANKS BROTHER.........WHAT A FRIEND, JUST WHAT A FRIEND IS JESUS........
Today is the first time I have heard of Greg Howlett (sorry). I am blown away by the songs played. I have gone through about a dozen of the songs played and I am so glad I have discovered these. Thank you for sharing with the world and may God bless you.
Praise God. I was sitting at the piano just a while ago imagining a piano solo and you just captured what I was thinking. Brilliant work. I love this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Mr. Howlett!
Praise God for the beautiful gift he has given you. I know I have been with the Lord when I sit back and meditate on such lovely music and see his creative work at hand while enjoying this video.
i'm so blessed of the music you played. i love christian music. i wish to have your cd so i can share it to my fellow christian members. God bless you more in your ministry Greg.
The song is brilliant and Spirit-filled just as you recorded it. Your gift of interpretation is directly from God. Loved hearing this.
wow thank You Lord Jesus, bless this man, what a talent Lord You gave to this man. Hello Bro Greg thank you for sharing your talent.
True - you can play anything you want. As a jazz piano player I do it all the time. But, when I play it the first time through, I play it as originally written -- it's a tradition thing for me. Of course, after the first chorus I improvise a bit.
You don't give up so easy.! Greg's play is unmistakable and beautiful.I love those very deep bass-notes,you can only play when you know where they are(and not in your hymn book)
Would you be interested in playing with a classically trained violinist? I have played for close to 40 years now, I currently play with my worship team. I love your style and heart felt melodies. I can play by ear and read music.
Hello Greg, I really enjoy your playing and the version of this song. I like the flow and look forward to implementing more of the chords that you have implemented. I appreciate the old and the new. Blessings!
Glory be only to God for this great talent
One of the best recordings I have ever heard of this very familiar song. Outstanding...
The fact that this beloved Hymn is still being played by so many persons of different cultures & background is in itself a testimony & tribute to the Composers Charles C. Converse (Music) & Joseph M. Scriven (Lyrics)! Music is subjective & many times we all as players do alter a note here or there because it flows better for us. It certainly is not intended as disrespect to the Original Writers! I take my cue from Singers/Vocalists... Duly noted Sir Greg, Sir John & Co. You are both unique!
Love this song so so so so.....much. thanks for sharing.
Amazing
I love Greg's style. That's awesome technique. Really Love this pianist. God blesz you.
Wow! I love Greg Howlett!
Beautiful Greg...you truly have a gift...
Jesus Bless you greg ...
thanks for this music.. I love it.. Thanks also because i am reminded to go back to my Lord's sight.
Thank you goole!
Thank you google
Thanks Greg. This is a beautiful arrangement; so many people traet it as a simple "one note after the other" tune to sing to, but you bring a whole new dimension to it. Don't take any notice of those who say you're doing it wrong - that's what makes it an arrangement!
Absolutely Beautiful! Thank you, God Bless!
This literally brought tears to my eyes. Simply beautiful
God used your Blessed talents to bless me. I to play piano and played that song for Church. Gog Bless. I subscribed to your music
I love you guys
Stay bless
hermoso, me ayuda a sentir el amor de mi padre Celestial
Your arrangements are so fresh and new!
THANK YOU LORD
Maravilha!! Deus seja louvado!
i love it.
I love Gods creation, What a friend we have in nature. Was Jesus the real name of what Mother Mary called him to come in for supper. Why do we call him Jesus When that was the name of a Mushroom that opened a person up to LOVE. JESUS IS LOVE AND YOU DO NOT NEED A MUSHROOM TO OPEN YOU UP TO IT.
Absolutely beautiful!
I downloaded the Great is Thy Faithfulness pdf to my ipad...Swiping is so much better than turning pages...I don't have to worry about music falling on the floor-as happened to me once during a recital. The arrangement was very fun to play, and eavesdroppers enjoyed it. I was a big Dino fan and played his music, but now I really like the technique Greg uses. I cannot wait to view the instructional videos. Thanks.
💕💕
Thanks so much!
Greg ... yes, it is beautiful. Pay no attention to Bresnik. More than this being a beautiful arrangement, look at Grace Weaver's comment below. God is using this to touch the lives of others. That's all that matters. God Bless You.
Músicas inspiradoras!
Beautiful Greg...!! You got the talent of beautifying!! Keep it up... Be Blessed
Beautiful
Hi Greg. Your rendition is so full of warmth & love - I really appreciate it. I love the visual as well as it really compliments the mood that you have so masterfully weaved. Singers will love this version as they can sing to it without "the accompanist" getting in their way lol. Thanks again Sir, Ozou`ne.
Amen!
Lovely
O piano é sempre o rei e tocado por mãos inspiradas, fica divino.
amazing..god bless you!
Great sound. Great video!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Ohhhhhh que Amigo nos es Cristo, él nos libra de todo mal,
y ...... nos manda que llevemos, todo a Dios en oración .
Vive el hombre desprovisto, y con tristezas y maldad, es porque
no le llevamos, todo a Dios en oración .
ESTA FUE UNA DE LAS PRIMERAS CANCIONES QUE APRENDÍ EN LA ESCUELA DOMINICAL, NUNCA ME OLVIDO DE ELLA Y SIEMPRE LA CANTO PORQUE ES MARAVILLOSA .
Glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it

beautiful, i love it
very nice!! I really enjoyed this hymn.
Glad you liked it.
Jesus sty my heart
Hi Jenny - I play by ear -- I can barely read music. I just think it honors the composer to play what he/she wrote -- at least in the first chorus. After that, do whatever you want. That's what I do. As a jazz player, we play the first chorus "as written" -- then we improvise.
WOW....REALLY???? If you John Bresnik were as wonderful as you think you are then more people would have heard of you, but we haven't..... so since this is HIS video and HIS composition then why don't we let HIM play what HE wants and you go play somewhere else.... I happen to have enjoyed every note from beginning to end!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL PIECE!
Thanks for sharing this. I love it and want to share the link on my facebook.
A few days ago I uploaded two of my renditions of "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" as persons in my circles have been asking me to have something available for them to hear... So I am working on a CD.
If you'd like to check them out please let me know...
Thanks again.
LOL. Good to hear.
You right
LOL, not a mistake. Who says I have to play the melody line exactly as it might be written in a hymnal?
Good on your song knowledge,and standing up for the original writer. I can get upset if wrong composers ar named.
Hola Jhon(Hi, Jhon) ahora sí coincido totalmente contigo, porque tú muestras respeto al creador(compositor) de una pieza musical y , a la
Perfect, and sounds a little like our Chinese scales.
