Lyrics

[Verse 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
[Verse 2]
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
[Verse 3]
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We need never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Are we weak and heavy-laden?
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Yes, in His arms He'll take and shield you
Take it to the Lord in prayer
