(Verse 1)

G                         C     G                          D     G
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a

              C        D                 G     D       
privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often

  G     C            G             D    G                      C
forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear all because we do not carry

   D                  G
everything to God in prayer.

 

(Verse 2)

G                      C       G                   D      G
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never

       C        D                       G      D                
be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so

   G      C        G                D      G                      C
faithful? Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness,

D                       G
take it to the Lord in prayer.

 

(Verse 3)

G                      C       G                      D      G
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious

                    C     D                       G     D     
Savior, still our refuge- take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends

          G           C      G                D     G         
despise forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll

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