What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

And what a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

And oh, what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

To everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful?

Or who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Ooh

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden?

Encumbered with a load I've carried

Precious Savior still I refuge, hmm

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer

'Cause in His arms

He'll take and shield you

Thou will find no solace there

Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer

Take it to the Lord in prayer
