What A Friend lyrics By Innocent Nwokenta
Oh (3x)
[Verse 1]
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a priviledge to carry
Everything to God in prayers
Oh what peace we all forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayers
([Chorus] in Igbo language)
Ekele m (my praise)
Otito m (my worship) Father Father
Ebube dike (Almighty)
Aga ma-eburu halleluyah (I will lift halleluyah)
Aga ma-apara halleluyah mo (I will carry my halleluyah)
Aga ma-eburu halleluyah mo ( I will lift my halleluyah)
Pagara Pagara Jesus (giving all to Jesus)
