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.

My heart was sadden by so many things and God put this song into my heart. I remember the choir singing it when I was a child but didn’t understand the meaning until my adulthood. Praise and Thanks to God Almighty!

I woke up this morning with this hymn playing in my head, I fell back asleep and it continued to play. Thank you GOD for reminding me what a friend JESUS really is. Needless to say I have been singing it all day and night. I keep remembering all the needless pain I have been bearing. What a friend!!!!
