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!
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 wilt find a solace there.

This song is like an old reliable friend that doesn’t visit often but knows when to show up.
It reminds us that neither sin nor grief,
trial nor temptation, sorrow nor human weakness, will keep Jesus from loving or caring for us. The opposite is true—He says bring ALL these to me…I can carry them. Precious Savior, still our refuge—take it to the Lord in prayer.

He hears us all but wants us to talk to him in prayer because it's a place of communication with him

My love for this song is massive.
I pray that the grace of Jesus would help us run daily to His feet without hesitation. He always awaits us His children to run in His arms, His embrace. He longs for His children
Love the hymn
