PIANO INTRODUCTION (two measures)

Verse 1

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Every-thing to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forgeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Verse 2

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.
