I guess 23 people don't have jesus in they life. Have him as an friend. Any ways I love this song. All I know jesus is an friend of mines he's always watching out for me and my son every day
I love them. My daddy used to play the Winans all the time. We used to be jamming right along. Now 20 years later I finally grasp the importance of these words. He who hath a friend must first show himself friendly! Amen!
I remember the 1st time I heard this song. I was a senior in high school and it's been over 20 years. I fell in love with it and I wasn't even saved at the time. Now, I have been living for Christ for almost 10 years now. God is so AWESOME!!!! My love for Christ supercedes any friendship on earth. He is definitely a friend that will NEVER leave you. Be blessed Saints........
".......out of all the love, in ,the world, NO one could love you more...." Thank You Lord Jesus, You've not only been there for me.....but have resided IN me...eternal thx.
I was in the 6th grade when this came out. I just turned 35 and this song still makes me feel good and encourages me in the Lord. "What a friend, we have in Jesus"
Hi all, I just wanted to say that Jesus is a TRUE friend! He is also a Healer! I have suffered from depression, joblessness, abuse and some of everything else that can make life a struggle. One thing I have learned is that HE is a Healer. He makes all things new again. He did for me. Praise Him saints!!!!
I love this song! Man!........ So many memories from the 90's. I remember watching this video air for the first time on Video Soul with Donnie Simpson and it made me stop and look at my life back then. I was a party animal who cared very little for anything. This was my first introduction to The Winans and Gospel music. It made me notice by the beat the then the lyrics took my heart. Thank god! I'd be dead by now if I didn't make that change and I thank the Winans and BeBe and CeCe for that.
This reminds me of my parents. They realized they had a five year old free spirited daughter who had to be taught the Gospel in her own special way. They bought me everything this family produced and these lessons have stuck with me through life. Thank God for Godly parents! :D
I'm 46 years old I have not heard this song since I was in junior high school. I used to play this song over and over. Of course it was my parents CD. 😊
This weekend I was preaching on the blessing of Abraham that we have as believers is that God was Abraham's friend and this song came into my spirit. I was a Christian DJ 20 years ago when it came out and it still blesses me today.
I remember my late mother play this song while she was cleaning up our apartment while I help her with the living room,sweeping the floor and after we done cleaning up. She then washed her hands and started to cook dinner wow incredible Memories. R.I.P MOM I MISS YOU!!!!
This song reminds me back in the 90's when I was a little kid. Playing outside and people would have their boombox on their shoulders or on the pouch step and they will play music for everyone to hear. Sometimes I miss those days , when life was just laid back and cool. Now, it's a different story. I'm glad I gave my life to Jesus cause this generation is hard and evil.
This songs just touches me every single time I hear it. It is so true that the LORD is a TRUE friend and we are so not worthy of the love HE gives. I just thank HIM for NEVER turning HIS back on me even when I don't deserve it. HE loves me, no matter what I ever do/did. HE IS MY FRIEND and I strive to be a faithful friend and servant to HIM. HALLELUJAH!!
i just got saved n i just feel uplifted and wanna know what god has for me....i just lost a lover and now im trusting him to get me out this depression
The 39 people that dislike this song don't appreciate great music. I was brought up listening to the Winans and this was one of my favorite songs. I love it! #Replay
i feel some type of way..my father loved this song and i remember when i heard it back in 1990 when it came out. We werent a gospel type of family, however my father being raised in Detroit loved the Winans...those were such good times back then, so innocent and pure. I miss those days so bad.
good morning my dear vladimir! please excuse my bad english, i'm from germany. it is an only fascination for me, that a man from siberia, russia even knows the winans! in my hometown, there we're 40000 of us-troops. i saw afro-americans every day since i had my eyes open, but you? i hate frontiers and nations: WE ARE ONE! it don't matter: siberia, germany, usa, black or white, or yellow, red, green or blue...shit! we are ALL living on an small planet together. and the mankind is sooooo silly.... have a good day and a good life! my last girlfriend lena came from russia, but she died 4 years ago....she liked this music as we both! best greetings! your helmut
danke mein lieber vladimir ich danke dir für deine nette antwort von ganzem herzen und dann noch in deutsch! :-) wir beide sind freunde im geiste zusammen, auch wenn wir tausende kilometer entfernt sind! die welt braucht noch ein paar millionen vladimirs und helmuts, dann wird es besser.... dein helmut
I had just become a Christian when this beautiful song came out. My family completely disowned me because of my conversion to Christianity but I have the ultimate Friend. Thank the Lord for this beautiful song and it’s simple message
I remember the first time I heard "A Friend"...It was in 1991 working at Pizza Hut. My manager played it on the juke box all the time when we closed the store and I fell in love with it...TRUE SONG
My friends who keep me up in Christ and other times of trouble, even in the good times are my big beautiful sister Jeanette, friends Renni and Sloan! Love you guys

I love Him because He healed a heart that was truly broken. A Most Excellent God!!!
Precious Jesus, thank you for always being my best friend! It took me awhile to grow in my faith. I’m battling Lyme illness. I BELIEVE JESUS will heal me. I’m growing so weary but God won’t let me give up!! He is my rock!! Blessings to you! 🙏🙏💜💜☀️☀️🇨🇦❤️❤️
this song I remeber my dad playing in the car when I was little..now that I am driving for almost 2 years its the perfect song for me to drive to :-) God bless ya'll and God Bless the world!!
Jesus truly had to inspire this song because when you need a friend to call on and all your homies ain't nowhere to be found Jesus steps in like "Whats good bruh ? Whatever it is I got you " and that's what's up what a start to a beautiful relationship when you really need a true friend to have you back.
I HEARD " A FRIEND" WHEN I WAS A LID GROWNIG UP. IT SPOKE TO ME LIKE I KNOW JESUS IS WITH ME ALWAY. . NOW YEARS LATER, I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG, AND FINALLY FOUND WHO SING IT. SO NOW I CAN HEARD " A FRIEND" ANYTIME I NEED IT.
This brings tears to my eyes, Jesus is really a true friend. He will never leave u.
You're twisting the words of the artist. there's no indication that they meant Jesus specifically.
Mine too. I love this song. Fills my heart up so much.
What a friend we have in Jesus
Yes! Galveston county here. I was 30 when this song came out now I'm 61... Where did all those yesterday's go? Good ole days! 🙏🏽

Amen.
As long as we're truly worshipping it will reach a lost Soul. Hallelujah!!!
FACTZ!!!! THEY NEED TO FIX THE GOSPEL RADIO
Seeee, I can believe I'm 3 days into gospel music and just downloaded like 6 songs? 😭 I don't know how I would do if God hadn't created The Winans.
If you guys have recommendations, I am all ears.
1 person doesn't have any friends..u can't just dislike this song b/c Jesus is a friend to the friendless!!!
Teddy Riley was the musical genius that did this.
Yep!! And Aaron Hall with that signature run!! LOL I was 4yrs old when this song came out! STILL a classic!!!
Its a beautiful song.!
Sounds like it
I was thinking this could be a Guy song! Never knew teddy produced this.
....i agree
I love them. My daddy used to play the Winans all the time. We used to be jamming right along. Now 20 years later I finally grasp the importance of these words. He who hath a friend must first show himself friendly! Amen!

This song came out when I was in the Marines. It opened my eyes to Jesus and His awesome Power. Trust and most of all Believe.
It’s good to be reminded that you always have a Friend in God … when you don’t have true friends.
This song is a deep reminder for those who believe that God can be a friend when everyone else seem to have left you.
I agree, but sometimes I wish I had Godly friends!!
LoriLance Waterman Amen
GOD is my TRUE and BEST FRIEND

Yes
This song is so understood when you get older in life.
