Charlie Walker - What a Friend We Have in Jesus lyrics

(Joseph Scrivens - Charles Converse - Sid Feller)

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and grieves to bear

What a privilege to carry everything

To God in prayer.

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Of what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptation

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 sorrow share

Jesus knows our every weakness

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

--- Instrumental ---

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

In his arms he'll take and shield Thee

Thou wilt find a solace there.

Thou wilt find a solace there...
