What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

Î what peace we often forfeit

Î what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer


And are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?

Jesus knows our every weakness
Just 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
Take it to the Lord in prayer
