What a Friend I Have in Jesus

What a friend I have in Jesus
All my sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything I have to Him in prayer

What peace I often forfeit
What needless pain I bear
All because I do not carry
Everything I have to Him in prayer

Have I trials and temptations
Is there trouble everywhere
I should never be discouraged
When I can take it to the Lord in prayer

What peace I often forfeit
What needless pain I bear
All because I do not carry
Everything I have to God in prayer

Hmm, everything I have to Him in prayer

Can I find a friend so faithful
With all my sorrows I can share
Jesus knows my every weakness
So I can take them to the Lord in prayer

Jesus knows my every weakness
So I can take them to the Lord
I can take them to the Lord
I can take them to the Lord in prayer
