What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a

                                                
privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often

                                                      forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear all because we do not carry

                     everything to God in prayer.

(Verse 2)

                                                   Have we trials and temptations? 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 sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness,

                       take it to the Lord in prayer.

(Verse 3)

                                                      Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious

                                                       
Savior, 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.
