Karl Gessler performs an upbeat version of the classic gospel song ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus.’
‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’ was written by Joseph Medlicott Scriven in 1855. He wrote this poem as a letter to comfort his mother during hard times in Ireland.
Scriven never expected his words would become one of the most loved songs in church history.
The song tells us about the close friendship we can have with Jesus. It reminds us that Christ carries our troubles and understands our pain.
We can bring every worry and every joy to Him through prayer. His love never changes, and His faithfulness never fails.
Gessler brings fresh energy to this old hymn with his guitar and passionate voice.
The video shows him singing on the bank of a calm river. The peaceful water and natural setting make his worship even more powerful.
