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 like this song all because there is no friend or brother closer to me like Jesus. It also empowers me when I am lonely and down.

This is a simple song with some simple chords. But this is simply make my tears down while I sing this out. When I couldn't pray, I just sing out this song and I feel much better.

Hallelujah! This hymn is so marvelous! Indeed, we need to trust in the Lord and in nothing be anxious. By prayer, petition and thanksgiving, we give our load, our burdens and our anxieties to God, and allow His peace to reign in us everyday. We simply need to say, ""Lord, I commit everything in Your hand."
