What A Friend We Have In Jesus - Footprints In The Sand Album Version

What a friend we have in jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to god in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Of what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to god in prayer

Have we trials and temptation
Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the lord in prayer

Can we find up friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrow 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 saviour still our refuge
Take it to the lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise forsake
Thee take it to the lord in prayer
In his arms he'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there
