[Verse 1: Colt Ford]

I remember Sunday morning gettin' up when I's a kid

Headin' down towards that steeple that's what folks back then did

We'd sing all five of them verses from Amazing Grace

Then daddy'd drop hard earned money in the offerin' plate

After Sunday school it was Davis brother's chicken

Tea was sweeter than molasses, funny how time passes

Never knew back then how my life would be now

How far I'd wander off that narrow road I went down

[Chorus: Lamar Williams Jr/Choral Singing & Colt Ford]

What a friend we have in Jesus

Don't know where I'm going or where it's all gone

Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul for a song

All my sins and grieves to bear

I'm surrounded by all of these six string dreams

Standing in the spot line and can't see a thing

What a privilege to carry

I'm sick and damn tired of all the hustlin' and schemin'

I'd give it all up to get back to even

Everything to God in prayer

I'm looking around for something I can still believe in

I'm dreaming of angels, but living with demons

[Verse 2: Colt Ford]

I think about my life now and what it used to be

Now that I've seen behind the curtain, nothin's new to me

I know some fallen angels tried to take me down

And I've got a few good time buddies, whiskey bent and hell bound

Another sleepless night with a rock guitar

It's screamin' in my veins, 'bout to drive me insane

But I woke up Sunday morning to them church's bells ringin'

And somewhere in my heart there's still a choir singin'

[Chorus: Lamar Williams Jr/Choral Singing & Colt Ford]

What a friend we have in Jesus

Don't know where I'm going or where it's all gone

Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul for a song

All my sins and grieves to bear

I'm surrounded by all of these six string dreams

Standing in the spot line and can't see a thing

What a privilege to carry

I'm sick and damn tired of all the hustlin' and schemin'

I'd give it all up to get back to even

Everything to God in prayer

I'm looking around for something I can still believe in

I'm dreaming of angels, but living with demons

[Outro: Lamar Williams Jr/Choral Singing & Colt Ford]

Hey, how you doing

I know it's been a while

I've been running crazy, and that ain't really no excuse, but

This whole world is running crazy

People killing each other, fighting wars

We forgot about you and a lot of places

And the truth is, we still really need You

I really need you

So I promise I won't stay away so long next time

I'll be back sooner than later

Thanks for always carrying me when I was too weak to walk

Well, I gotta get out of here, but I'll talk to you again soon

Thanks, God

What a friend we have in Jesus

All my sins and grieves to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

What a friend we have in Jesus

All my sins and grieves to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer
