Alan Jackson performs a live rendition of the classic hymn 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus.' The song emphasizes the comfort and privilege of bringing all burdens, sins, and griefs to God through prayer. It encourages believers not to forfeit peace or endure needless pain by failing to pray. The lyrics highlight Jesus as a faithful friend who shares our sorrows and knows our weaknesses. This hymn has been a staple in Christian worship for generations, reminding listeners to turn to the Lord in times of trial and temptation.
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And 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?
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
