What a Friend

Tell me, what a Friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear And 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 Tell me, have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? For we should never be discouraged Come on and take it to the Lord in prayer Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? 'Cause Jesus knows our every weakness Come and take it to the Lord in prayer Are we weak and heavy-laden Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour still our refuge Take it to the Lord in prayer Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer For in His arms, He'll take and shield thee And thou will find a solace there, oh Oh, what a Friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer
