What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

? what peace we often forfeit
? what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

And are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Just 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
Take it to the Lord in prayer
