‘Friend in Jesus’ – CAIN Worship Song

People tend to let us down. Putting 100% faith and trust in man is a good recipe for disaster and disappointment. Psalms 118:8 informs us that “it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” As that verse points out, there is One that will never disappoint or fail us.

The Christian group CAIN, in their song “Friend in Jesus,” mentions all the wonderful, amazing things He has done and how He has completely changed the trajectory of their lives. 

The song’s first verse is about how Jesus came to repair the broken, to forgive the sinner, and ultimately to die for all of humanity. The lyrics in this opening verse are like what Jesus said in Matthew 9:12 when He said that it’s not the healthy person who needs a doctor but the sick. 

The second verse points out how Jesus has truly become a friend, a shepherd, and a healer. He has performed miracles since coming into the songwriter’s life.

“And I have a Shepherd
Who always keeps me safe
And I found a healer”

Amazing!

The chorus reiterates how Jesus has become a most trusted friend, who has become everything to the songwriter since entering their life.

Finally, the song’s last verse borrows lyrics from that beloved old hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” Jesus, the song states, walks and talks with the songwriter. Also, the verse mentions that nothing compares to the joy that the songwriter has found since Christ came into their life. 

The world is a place filled with hurt, broken promises, and heartache. People hurt and let each other down, even if they don’t intend to do so. Thankfully, there is One who will never fail us or forsake us!

In this we see what love is, because He gave His life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers (1 John 3:16).
