What A Friend We Have In Jesus Lyrics - How Great Thou Art - Bill And Gloria Gaither

What a friend we have in Jesus, 

All our sins and griefs to bear, 

What a privilege to carry 

Everything to God in prayer! 

O what peace we often forfeit, 

O what needless pain we bear, 

All because we do not carry 

Everything to God in prayer! 

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. 

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.
