(verse 1)
G C G D G
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a
C D G D
privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often
G C G D G C
forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear all because we do not carry
D G
everything to God in prayer.
(verse 2)
G C G D G
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never
C D G D
be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so
G C G D G C
faithful? Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness,
D G
take it to the Lord in prayer.
(verse 3)
G C G D G
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious
C D G D
Savior, still our refuge- take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends
G C G D G
despise forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll
C D G
take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.
