This Is A Wonderful Hymn With A Funky Twist!

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
C.C. Converse, w/ H.Bonar
Text: Joseph M. Scriven, 1820-1886
Music: G.Lee

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.

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.

Hook
What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Take Everything To The Lord In Prayer
Jesus Will Always Be By Our Side
Take Everything To The Lord In Prayer

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.



Hook
What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Take Everything To The Lord In Prayer
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take Everything To The Lord In Prayer

What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Take Everything To The Lord In Prayer
We Should Never Be Discouraged
Take Everything To The Lord In Prayer
