What a friend we have in Jesus,
All sins and griefs He’ll bear,
What a privilege to carry,
All things to God in prayer,
O what peace we often forfeit,
What needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
All things to God in prayer.
What a friend we have in Him (what a friend we have indeed, He’ll supply our every need)
What a friend we have in Him (so much closer than a brother, oh His love is like no other)
We have trials and temptations
There’s trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
What a friend we have in Him (what a friend we have indeed, He’ll supply our every need.
What a friend we have in Him (so much closer than a brother, Oh His love is like no other)
What a friend we have in Him (I can go to Him in prayer, I know that He’ll be right there)
What a friend we have in Him (so much closer than a brother, Oh His love is like no other)
I am a friend of God (3x) He loves me, loves me
