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!
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.

Take it to the LORD in prayer
Beautiful song
Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria
I fall in love with this song the moment I heard it for the first time. I used to struggle a lot mentally because I felt as if it there was no one that I could see me.
Now through this song I have fond out that no matter what there is always going to be that one friend that well always see you and understand you, and that name is no other name but Jesus
Hallelujah!

I thank the Lord for this song
Alot has been on my mind but I think I've poured it all at the master's feet and I know he has done it all for me
He has taken me into His arms and has given me a second chance to serve him better
Thank You Lord

On this day and hour I don't have a human friend. It was through this song God reminded me that Jesus is my friend and the Holy Spirit is my comforter. Amen.

Today I lost sleep I woke up at 2:30 Something I guess 8. I recently I had a misunderstanding with my partner and he walked away without giving me ears and ended up tarnished my name. I have been battling this causing sleepless nights and long hours of thinking about the situation. Today I took chance and went to church at 12 noon I was in much solemn to a point I didn't know how to start talking to God but still on the mood I found myself singing this song . Lemmie tell you peace came upon me I talked to God and I slept on the Church Bench for almost two hours. Am writing this at 18:43 and I feel alot of peace upon me

This Words of This Song Becomes So Clear and Meaningful Through the Storms of Life and As A Relationship Becomes Stronger in the Lord ….. Thank You Lord For Being With Me Through Everything Especially Through the Heartbreak of Divorce after 15 Years and Loved Ones Death…. I’m Taking Everything to You Lord Because Only You Can Provide the Strength and Comfort I Need. Amen , Amen and Amen.
A lovely hymn

I thank God for this hymn that always reminds us that our God is all knowing and is always waiting for us to talk to him about our ups and downs.. We are also reminded not to suffer with the loads there world burdens us with but just make it known to the Lord and he will take of everything 🙂

This song is so refreshing and challenging too. What needless pains we bear, all because we don't carry everything to God in prayer. I pray that God will help me to take this challenge seriously so that those needless pains will be no more
