You know people told me all of my life 
 [bad word] friendship's hard [bad word] by 
But I had to find out for myself 
Now I've [bad word] to realize, oh, oh 

What a friend we have in Jesus 
All of our sins and griefs He'll bare 
What a privilege to carry 
Everything to God in prayer 

Everything to God in prayer 

All my strength in never ending loss 
Friends with limited warranties, yea-oh 
Until You I never knew a lifetime guaranteed 
Friend could really be my reality, oh 

What a friend we have in Jesus 
All of our sins and griefs He'll bare 
What a privilege to carry 
Everything to God in prayer

Everything to God in prayer [5x]

What a friend we have in Jesus 
All of our sins and griefs He'll bare 
What a privilege to carry 
Everything to God in prayer
