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.

Jesus is the only true Friend I have. He knows everything about me. He cares and protects me. He comforts me. He loves me enough to listen to everything I say. I take everything to Him in prayer!

I hear church bells in a local church play this frequently when I'm outside. I remembered the tune and the name of the song from when I was young! How comforting to know that I can release my fears to the Lord and that Jesus will forever be my friend. What a great reminder! Amen!!

There can never be a friend as Jesus. We only need to do our part in acknowledging, obeying and trusting Him, and the rests will be success stories.
