What a Friend We Have In Jesus

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

Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
I tell you that we should never be discouraged
Honey, take it, take it to the Lord in prayer

Oh, can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
I tell you, Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it, take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Oh, precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it, take it to the Lord in prayer

I wanna know
Do your friends despise and forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Because in His arms He'll take and shield you
And you will find your solace there
Yeah, take it, take it to the Lord in prayer
