What A Friend We Have In Jesus

(album: Untitled Hymn: A Collection Of Hymns - 2019)

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
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
Who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

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 privilege to carry
Every to God in prayer
Every to God in prayer
Every to God in prayer
