Hey Hive fam! @sampraise77 is back for week 171, round 3 of the Give music festival with a flute cover. This time, it's the classic hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”

This hymn is super comforting and has been loved for generations because it reminds us that God is always near and cares for us. Joseph M. Scriven wrote it in the 1800s after dealing with his own sadness, but it’s full of hope and trust. Instead of making Jesus seem distant, it shows Him as a close friend who listens, understands, and helps us with our problems.

The hymn is all about having a relationship with Jesus. It's not just any relationship, but a friendship built on love and faith. The words tell us to pray and be honest with God. We don't have to deal with worries and pain by ourselves; we can bring them to God. This is something that speaks to everyone because we all have times when we feel weak, happy, confused, or hopeful, and we can share all of that with Jesus.

The hymn also gives us hope. It knows we'll face tough times and temptations, but it reminds us that God is always there to support us. It doesn't say life will be easy, but that we can always get help. In simple, heartfelt words, it says that God's grace is enough and His mercy will never end. This mix of realness and hope makes the song relatable and comforting.

The music of the hymn is calm, which goes with its peaceful vibe. That's why a flute cover works so well. The flute has a soft sound that shows tenderness and makes you think, letting you connect with the hymn emotionally, even without the words. Every note can show trust and peace, turning the melody into a prayer. Playing it on an instrument also lets you think about it in your own way and reflect on your friendship with God.
