What a Friend We Have in Jesus by Aretha Franklin Lyrics

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Let's do that one more time...

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we're to bear, oh yes we do
All because we don't, we just don't carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we're to bear, oh yes we do
All because we just don't carry
Everything to God in prayer
Chorus:
What a friend we have in Jesus
And all my sins, sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
Ev-, everything (everything, everything, everything)
To God in prayer

Bridge:
(Oh what peace we often forfeit)
(oh what needless pain we're to bear)
All because we, we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
Ev-, everything (everything,everything,everything)to God in prayer

(Oh what peace we often forfeit)
(oh what needless pain we're to bear)
All because we, we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
Ev-, everything(everything,everything,everything) to God in prayer
Oh...

Everything
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
