1. 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!
2. 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.
3. 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 wilt find a solace there.

Sept. 12, 2008Grace HsiehCanadaYeah, I need to learn to carry everything to God in prayer. And even take all my cares and troubles to the Lord in prayer. Lord, You are the dearest and most faithful Friend that we can ever have. Amen.

Nov. 30, 2005Hah Shi YunMalaysiaSometimes we are cheated by our friend. But how lucky we have a friend like Jesus.

Sept. 22, 2003Jason AuToronto, ON, CanadaRight now, I'm feeling hard times, and I really need the lord. This song is really soothing and reminds me that Jesus can be our friend.

He can be the One who cares for us, One who we can share the burden of life with. The new tune has a nice ring to it, but when I get into the lyrics, it just touches the heart on how Jesus can really be personal. One that we can everything too. Whether in good times or bad.

Mar. 19, 2003I love my friend, Jesus.
