Lyrics for What a Friend We Have In Jesus by Tennessee Ernie Ford

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

Everything to God in prayer Oh, what peace we often forfeit Oh, 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 Listen to me a minute Are we weak and heavy laden? Are we cumbered with a load, a load of care? Well, the precious Savior is still our refuge Let′s take it to the Lord in prayer Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer In His arms He'll take and shield you You will find a solace there

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

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, 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

Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Listen to me a minute
Are we weak and heavy laden?
Are we cumbered with a load, a load of care?
Well, the precious Savior is still our refuge
Let's take it to the Lord in prayer

Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take and shield you
You will find a solace there

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