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
And oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
To 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?
Or who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Ooh
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden?
Encumbered with a load I've carried
Precious Savior still I refuge, hmm
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
'Cause in His arms
He'll take and shield you
Thou will find no solace there
Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer
Take it to the Lord in prayer
