What A Friend We Have In Jesus

(With Billy Joe Thomas)

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Are we weak and heavy-laden
And cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

What a friend we have in Jesus
