Maranatha! Praise Band What a Friend We Have in Jesus song lyrics

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?

Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share?

Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care?

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.
