Lyrics

What a Friend We Have in Jesus –


V1: What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry Everything, Everything to God in prayer
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry Everything, Everything to God in prayer

V2: Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble, 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, Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Chorus: We have a special friend in Jesus
We have a special friend in Him
We have a special friend in Jesus
He died so we could live with Him

V3: Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our Refuge Take it to, 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, Thou wilt find a solace there.

Chorus: We have a special friend in Jesus
We have a special friend in Him
We have a special friend in Jesus
He died so we could live with Him
He died so we could live with Him
He died so we could live with Him
