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 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.

While reading a devotional about how the Lord uses the troubles of our life, I remembered this hymn. It is befitting a recent trouble of the a life long friend and a comforting reminder that Jesus is our ONLY life long friend and on through the eternities.

"Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share"

My ringing tone now and always, it keeps reminding me that the only true friend I have is Jesus and in Him alone I can put my trust.

This hymn is not just a partner in time of distress but also a life support when things go sour.
I was really down but through this hymn am stronger, better and consoled in the fact that Jesus shears my problems too...
