G                          C
What a friend we have in Jesus,
G                          D
All our sins and griefs to bear!
G                   C
What a privilege to carry
G             D      G
Everything to God in prayer!
D
O what peace we often forfeit,
G
O what needless pain we bear,
G                     C
All because we do not carry
G             D      G
Everything to God in prayer!
