What a Friend We Have in Jesus - Stream of Praise

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.

What a friend we have in Jesus,

take it to the Lord in Prayer
