1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer…
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer…
2 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
Who will all our sorrows share?!
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer…
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He’ll take and shield you
You will find a solace there…
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer…
