What a Friend

==========

 

^(A)What a friend we have in ^(D)Jesus, ^(A)all our sins and grieves to ^(E)bear

^(A)What a privilege to ^{(D)carry (A)}every^(E)thing to God in ^(A)prayer

^(A)O what peace we often ^(D)forfeit, ^(A)O what needless pain we ^(E)bear

^(A)All because we do not ^{(D)carry (A)}every^(E)thing to God in ^(A)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 who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer

 

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?  Take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there

 

What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and grieves to bear

What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer

Everything to God in prayer
