Written to the tune of “What a Friend we have in Jesus”
Written for Lillian Luken and all who grew up loving the hymns of old.
“What A Friend We Have in Jesus” – Lillian Luken’s favorite song.
Oh how precious is this lady – she’s been a gracious melody all along.
Oh what peace we see within her; love comes out through every pore.
Just because we saw Lil Luken walk right through the church’s door.
Like us all, she’s had her trials, which she’s shouldered with her Lord.
He has borne the greatest burden – something she could not afford.
This, a song sung from her childhood – her family had a hearth in song.
What a friend we have in Lillian. This is where the song belongs.
