What A Friend (Everything)

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

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
When we feel down and 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

Everything, every care
Carried to God in prayer
Everything, every care
Carried to God 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 your friends despise forsake you
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take and shield you
You will find a solace... there

Carried to God in prayer
Everything, every care
Carried to God in prayer

Everything, every care
Carried to God in prayer
Everything, every care
Carried to God in prayer
