What A Friend We Have In Jesus lyrics

What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and grieves to bear What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer Oh what peace we often forfeit Of what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer Have we trials and temptation Is there trouble anywhere We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer Oh what peace we often forfeit Of what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrow share Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer
