I remember him well
Though I was just a child
He would come to our church
Every once in a while
With a voice just like thunder
And a tear in his eye
With conviction, he'd cry
"What a God"
What a God who trades
New lives for old
Whose mercy and goodness
Has never been told
What a God who forgets
All the things I have been
And giveth more grace
Again and again
He's a refreshing stream
In a desert-filled life
He's the joyous relief
In a heart filled with strife
He's the bridge o'er the gap
I never could cross
What a Savior, what a Friend
What a God
Now that old preacher man
Has moved on from this earth
But he gave me one gift
Of immeasurable worth
'Cause when I can't express
My feelings inside
I just look up and cry
What a God
What a God who trades
New lives for old
Whose mercy and goodness
Has never been told
What a God who forgets
All the things I have been
And giveth more grace
Again and again
He's a refreshing stream
In a desert-filled life
He's the joyous relief
In a heart filled with strife
He's the bridge o'er the gap
I never could cross
What a Savior, what a Friend
What a God
What a God who trades
New lives for old
Whose mercy and goodness
Has never been told
What a God who forgets
All the things I have been
And giveth more grace
Again and again
He's a refreshing stream
In a desert-filled life
He's the joyous relief
In a heart filled with strife
He's the bridge o'er the gap
I never could cross
What a Savior, what a Friend
What a God
What a Savior, what a Friend
What a Savior, what a Friend
What a God
What a God
