What a Friend we have in Jesus

1
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!
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.
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.

These lyrics are biblical and has so much truth to it.

Nowadays the modern songs and lyrics go out of bible context and some overly repeat one word. Be careful of the songs you listen to, make sure they are not all about self, what they should be is all about our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. 🙏🙏🙏

Heard an instrumental arrangement of this song this morning on BBN radio. I have sung it so many times. We have a serious health issue in our family. This song tells the truth. Amen.

Hello Michael,

I came online to look for this hymn when I saw your comment. The Lord Jesus Christ is Your Healer. Let me invite you to come onboard this platform ( look for 'pastor-segun-obadje' on Mixlr) for prayers. I definitely know there is God's power available to heal you. I consider this a great privilege from God to reach. God bless You
