Merle Haggard - What A Friend We Have In Jesus lyrics

rate me

(Joseph Scrivens - Charles Converse - Sid Feller)

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and grieves to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Of what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptation

Is there trouble anywhere

We should never be discouraged

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Of what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

Can we find up friend so faithful

Who will all our sorrow share

Jesus knows our every weakness

Take it to the Lord in prayer...
