(verse 1) 

 G                         C     G                          D     G 
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a 

               C        D                 G     D        
privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often 

   G     C            G             D    G                      C 
forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear all because we do not carry 

    D                  G 
everything to God in prayer. 



(verse 2) 

 G                      C       G                   D      G 
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never 

        C        D                       G      D                 
be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so 

    G      C        G                D      G                      C 
faithful? Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness, 

 D                       G 
take it to the Lord in prayer. 


(verse 3) 

 G                      C       G                      D      G 
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious 

                     C     D                       G     D      
Savior, still our refuge- take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends 

           G           C      G                D     G          
despise forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll 

           C            D                       G 
take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.
