G                            C
What a friend we have in Jesus, 

G                             D    C
all our sins and griefs to bear! What a

               C        D                 G           
privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

D
Oh, what peace we often

   G     C            G           
forfeit, oh, what needless pain we 

D      G                     C
bear all because we do not carry

    D                  G
everything to God in prayer.

        C        D                       G                    
be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer. 

D
Can we find a friend so

    G      C        G                D          C
faithful? Who will all our sorrows share? 

  G                      C
Jesus knows our every weakness,

 D                       G
take it to the Lord in prayer.

 G                      C   
Are we weak and heavy laden,

    G                     D       G
cumbered with a load of care? Precious

                     C     D                            
Savior, still our refuge- take 

                     G    D
it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends

           G           C      G                        
despise forsake thee? Take it to 

              D      G
the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll

           C            D                       G
take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.

           C            D                       G
take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.
