What a Friend We Have in Jesus cover by Eric Alan Marx. I am singing along with the song that an Organ Player Dan Olney and Piano player Mike Jankusky did, and Mike Jankusky put it on Youtube. I created it using Zoom. What a Friend We Have in Jesus Words: George Scriven (1855) Music: Charles C. Converse (1868) Verse 1: 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! 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. Verse 3: Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, 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. Public Domain
