Everybody has trials and temptations
Everybody knows heart break isolation
But we can lay our burdens down
Lay our burdens down
What a friend we have in Jesus
East to west my sins are gone
I see grace on every horizon
And forever and ever his heart is my home
Everybody has fears
Everybody got worries
Everybody knows sorrow, devastation
But we can lay our burdens down
Lay our burdens down
What a friend we have in Jesus
East to west my sins are gone
I see grace on every horizon
And forever and ever his heart is my home
No more betrayal
For he is faithful
He fills me up and my cup runneth over
No more betrayal
For he is faithful
How he has proven it over and over
No more betrayal
What a friend we have in Jesus
East to west my sins are gone
I see grace on every horizon
And forever and ever his heart is my home
What a friend we have in Jesus
East to west my sins are gone
I see grace on every horizon
And forever and ever his heart is my home
Forever and ever his heart is my home
