Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grief to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
[Verse 2]
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry, oh yeah
Everything to God in prayer
[Verse 3]
Have we trials and temptations?
Well, well, well, is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Oh, take, take it to the Lord in prayer
[Verse 4]
Can we find a friend so faith, faithful
Who will all our burdens share?
Je-Jesus knows our every weakness, oh yeah
Take everything to God in prayer
Written by: Charles Crozat Converse, Joseph Scriven
