Lyrics
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
