{comment:Verse 1}
[D]What a friend we have in J[G]esus,
[D]All ours sins and griefs to [A]bear,
[D]What a privilege to [G]carry
[D]Everyth[A]ing to God in p[D]rayer!
[A]O what peace we often f[D]orfeit,
[G]O what n[D]eedless pain we [A]bear,
[D]All because we do not c[G]arry
[D]Everyth[A]ing to God in p[D]rayer!

{comment:Verse 2}
[D]Have we trials and temp[G]tations?
[D]Is there trouble any[A]where?
[D]We should never be disc[G]ouraged;
[D]Take it [A]to the Lord in [D]prayer.
[A]Can we find a friend so f[D]aithful
[G]Who will a[D]ll our sorrows s[A]hare?
[D]Jesus knows our every w[G]eakness;
[D]Take it t[A]o the Lord in p[D]rayer.

{comment:Verse 3}
[D]Are we weak and heavy l[G]aden,
[D]Cumbered with a load of [A]care?
[D]Precious Savior still our r[G]efuge;
[D]Take it [A]to the Lord in [D]prayer.
[A]Do thy friends despise for[D]sake thee?
[G]Take it [D]to the Lord in [A]prayer!
[D]In His arms He'll take and s[G]hield thee;
[D]Thou wilt f[A]ind a solace th[D]ere.
