[Verse]
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grief to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

[Chorus]
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

[Verse]
Have we trials and temptation
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should be never discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

[Chorus]
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
