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.

I am so happy that He has turned my life around for the better. What a friend He is. He made what seemed impossible possible.

You CAN find Comfort and relief in the OLD HYMNS. Jesus IS not only our friend, but OUR SAVIOUR! I pray, "Thank You Lord for caring and saving ME, a sinner, YOU LOVED ME, when I was yet unlovely. THANK YOU GOD." Amen.

All my life friends and loved ones ignore me when I need them most but this song is my courage that even if I've been left out and despised Jesus will never give up on me. I love You Lord.

Anytime I sing this hymn I feel so much blessed that God is just always by my side to lift me up and help me carry my burden! He's so faithful and I know I need not worry because my worries won't heal me of my stress and that I ought to know what I should do as a believer. Thank You dear Lord! You are awesome!
