What A Friend We Have In Jesus – Lyrics and Chords
E A C#m E B
What a friend we have in Jesus. All our sins and griefs to bear
E A C#m E B E A E
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
B E A E B
Oh, what peace we often forfeit. Oh, what needless pain we bear
E A C#m E B E A E B
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer
E A C#m E B
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
E A C#m E B E A E
We should never be discouraged. Take it to the Lord in prayer
B E A E B
Can we find a friend so faithful? Who will all our sorrows share?
E A C#m E B E A E B
Jesus knows our every weakness. Take it to the Lord in prayer
E A C#m E B
Are we weak and heavy-laden? Cumbered with a load of care?
E A C#m E B E A E
Precious Savior, still our refuge. Take it to the Lord in prayer.
B E A E B
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer
E A C#m E B E A E B
In His arms he’ll take and shield thee. Thou will find a solace there
