This week’s featured song story comes to us from Chris McClarney. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “What A Friend.”
“This song is really about how Jesus is the perfect friend. He accepts you as you are and where you’re at. We can find security in a perfect God that not only gave his life for us on a cross but also interacts with us on a daily basis and actually calls us friend.” – Chris McClarney

“What A Friend” Lyrics
I’ve never heard You say
What have you done for me lately?
What have you done to earn my grace?
I’ve never heard You speak
Anything but Your love for me
Anything but identity
What a friend I’ve found in You, Jesus
What a friend I’ve found in You
When no one else could keep their promise
I can always count on You
You’ve only made me feel
That I was welcome in Your house
That I was honored and adored
You’ve seen me at my worst
But You’ve never held it against me
You’re running to me when I return
You’ve been my savior
You’ve been my shield
You’ve been my defender on the battlefield
You’ve been my Father
You’ve been my rock
You’ve been my portion
You’re more than enough
You’ve been my shelter
You’ve been my strength
You’ve been my provider again and again
You’ve been my redeemer
And I can’t comprehend
How the God of creation
Would call me His friend
