What A Friend We Have In Jesus

(album: The Gospel According To Ike And Tina - 1974)

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege we often carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we're to bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

What a friend we have in Jesus
And all my sins, sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
Ev-, everything to God in prayer

(Oh what peace we often forfeit)
(Oh what needless pain we're to bear)
All because we, we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
Ev-, everything to God in prayer

(Oh what peace we often forfeit)
(Oh what needless pain we're to bear)
All because we, we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
Ev-, everything to God in prayer
Oh...

Everything
Everything to God in prayer

Everything to God in prayer
