What a Friend We Have in Jesus 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]
Are we weak and heavy-laden?
c*mbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer

[Instrumental Break]

[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
[Outro]
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
