What a friend we have in Jesus!

I'm sitting in law-link now, listening to Kwang's songs that I got off the shared network. Tee-hee. This is one of my favorite songs, and has been since primary school. Back then, it was the easily followed melody that appealed to me, and I never cared much about the lyrics; but now, the more I listen to the song, the more the words speak to me. =) Okie, after copying and pasting the lyrics, I shall go back to studying.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilage to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!

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.

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.
