I've heard and sing this song for many years and when i came to know about the struggling life of Joseph M Scriven, God speaks to me through this song. No matter how hard life is, i know Jesus is my friend who will never ignore me. So beautiful
Aren't the flowers so pretty in this, I love Columbine, the pansy, morning glory ... Joseph Scriven was an older brother of my great great Grandmother Jane. I've opened a blog for her at, 'Katie's Scriven Hall' . Drop by and say 'Hi'.
"What a Friend We Have in Jesus" is a Christian hymn originally written by Joseph M. Scriven as a poem in 1855 to comfort his mother who was living in Ireland while he was in Canada" - lines from Wikipedia
This song was written by a man who lost his fiancee before their wedding day. That must be horrible. And wether it's losing a friend or a family member through death or something dear to you, remember He is a friend willing to carry our burden and help us move on.
I liked the sound of the oboe
