CeCe Winans is one of those voices that has continued to carry gospel music with grace, excellence and a sound that points people back to Jesus. Over the years, her music has blessed generations, with songs that have become part of the worship life of many believers around the world.

Now, she has released ‘What A Friend We Have In Jesus’, bringing her own expression to one of the most loved hymns of the church.

This hymn is not just another song. For many people, ‘What A Friend We Have In Jesus’ is a song of comfort, prayer and assurance. It reminds us that Jesus is not far from us. He is a friend, a helper and the one we can carry everything to in prayer. That is why the hymn has remained powerful for many years. It speaks to the heart in every season.

With CeCe Winans’ voice on it, the song feels warm and personal. It carries the simplicity of the hymn, with just a soft piano accompaniment and no unnecessary theatrics. Just calmness, depth and the kind of delivery that allows the message of the hymn to breathe.

Sharing on her social media handles and official website, CeCe revealed that ‘What A Friend We Have In Jesus’ is one song from a larger project titled ‘The Hymns’.

The project is already looking like one that will take listeners back to songs that shaped faith, worship and devotion across generations. Hymns have a way of staying alive because the truth inside them does not fade, and with“The Hymn”, CeCe Winans is bringing that reminder again.

The new single ‘What A Friend We Have In Jesus’ is out now, while “The Hymn” is available to pre-save ahead of its 5 June release.
