Lyrics What a Friend We Have In Jesus - Paul Baloche

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?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden?
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee
Thou will find a solace there (in his arms)
In His arms He'll take and shield thee
Thou will find a solace there

Oh thank you Lord
You are my solace

Jesus
O what a friend we have in Jesus (sing it out, Jesus)
O, Jesus
O what a friend we have in Jesus (thank you Lord)
O, Jesus
O what a friend we have in Jesus
O, Jesus
O what a friend we have in Jesus
O, Jesus
O what a friend we have in Jesus
