What a Friend We Have in Jesus Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman feat. Ricky Skaggs

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!

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

(Jesus, Jesus thou I trust)
(Thou I proved o′er and o'er)
Take it to the Lord in prayer
(Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus)
(Oh what a friend we have)
(Oh Jesus, we trust in you)
