I just had a grown man(I'm 17) tell me how much he wanted to kill himself. I sent him this video along with encouraging words. Ya'll help me pray. We have people wanting to KILL themselves.
She sure knows what she is doing. Good job Chonda! You made me laugh my lungs out but at the same time made my eyes filled with tears. It's so true the Lord still continues to look out for us. Thank you.
I listend to this the other day on slacker radio on my iphone. It's so nice to know that there are still comedians out there that can be funny and clean and also share a great message.
So wonderful for me to find Chondra singing this & her comedy. I did not know of her before. Joseph Scriven an older brother of my great great Grandmother Jane. I opened a blog to visit about Jane. Check in and say 'Hello', Best Wishes, Katie at

LOVE THIS VIDEO.... watched it several times. But listening to it, I think she MEANT to say Bill Gaither, but slipped & said Bill Gates. ALSO, you will enjoy reading the story behind this hymn. The songwriter lost TWO fiance's just before the wedding, they died tragically, yet he writes how Jesus is our best friend.... talking to Him in prayer can relieve any worry, stress, illness, concern, sin, loneliness, etc
She was on the verge of tears, but through the tears and southern accent, she said "Gaither." It almost sounded like "GATES-ster" but she said "Gaither". I know this because I too have a southern accent.
i alway love coming back to see Chonda. reminds me of my road trip on a rainy day crying and asking God to make things right...before i knew it the rain had stopped, i wasn't crying anymore and felt Gods presence in my truck with me...Amen, what a friend we have in Jesus.
this bought tears to my eyes! and has iam tpye this i am crying!!!
jus wat she say when she gets to what a friend we have in JESUS!! just makes me cry every time i hear this song!!! because all the ORD in this song is soooo true!!!!!!!

Im glad I came across this again in my favorites, i was feeling really bad, and didnt want to be alive anymore, but it reminded me that jesus is always there.
I've seen this one a dozen times now and it still touches me... Precious anointing just taking over as she started 'What a Friend'. I guess it was much like what she experienced in that Chevy. Beautiful! And recognizable too... :)
what a friend we have in jesus this is the story of my life , i turn my back on him but still the lord my savior and my frien still stay w/ me and love me wahat a friend we have in jesus he is the best friend we can ever have
Don't you just love how she goes to sit down before the song is over and allows God take up center stage? Beautiful and simple woman of grace. She is so refreshing in these days of the super-proud preachers/teachers.
Thank God for Chonda. This sure put things into perspective for me. Thanks for sharing it. It is odd or maybe just a Jesus thing that when you need to be reminded of His presence, He will even use the internet to remind you of His love and grace.
I drove a chevette too! LOL! I love this video Chondra is so annointed when she turned from funny to singing oh how my heart just was so blessed! thank you JESUS!
what a friend was my grandmas favourite song. we sang this at her funeral and every single person was in tears. it's something that still makes me cry everytime I hear it/sing it
I heard this years ago and it ministered to me in a deep way and still does - concerning my son - who like Chonda, had strayed far from our Lord. God hears our prayers and goes after the children of the righteous!
That woman's heart is full of so much love for Christ...and she is HILARIOUS!! It's a shame the crowd was a little, "less than warm." I'd love to invite her to our church. Our congregation, pastor, everyone would CRACK UP!
Anyone know when this was performed? Bill and Gloria look pretty young.
