What A Friend We Have In Jesus Chords & Lyrics - Pete James

[VERSE 1]
[E]What a friend we [B]have in [C#m]Jesus
[A]All our sins and [B]griefs to [E]bear!
[E]What a privi[B]lege to [C#m]carry
[A]Everything to [B]God in [E]prayer!
[E]Oh, what peace we [B]often [C#m]forfeit
[A]Oh, what needless [B]pain we [E]bear
[E]All because we [B]do not [C#m]carry
[A]Everything to [B]God in [E]prayer!

[CHORUS]
What a [A]friend we have in [E]Jesus
What [B]a friend we have in [C#m]him
For he [A]knows us and he [E]holds us in his [B]hands
And his [A]grace is never [E]failing
And his [B]love without an [C#m]end
What a [A]friend we have in [E]Jesus
What a [B]friend we have in [E]him

[VERSE 2]
[E]Have we trials [B]and temp[C#m]tations?
[A]Is there trouble [B]any[E]where?
[E]We should never [B]be dis[C#m]couraged—
[A]Take it to the [B]Lord in [E]prayer.
[E]Can we find a [B]friend so [C#m]faithful,
[A]Who will all our [B]sorrows [E]share?
[E]Jesus knows our [B]every [C#m]weakness;
[A]Take it to the [B]Lord in [E]prayer.

[CHORUS]
What a [A]friend we have in [E]Jesus
What [B]a friend we have in [C#m]him
For he [A]knows us and he [E]holds us in his [B]hands
And his [A]grace is never [E]failing
And his [B]love without an [C#m]end
What a [A]friend we have in [E]Jesus
What a [B]friend we have in [E]him

[VERSE 3]
[E]Blessed Saviour, [B]you have [C#m]promised
[A]You will our [B]burdens [E]bear
[E]May we ever, [B]Lord, be [C#m]bringing
[A]All to you in [B]earnest [E]prayer
[E]Soon in glory [B]bright, [C#m]unclouded
[A]There will be no [B]need for [E]prayer
[E]Rapture, praise, and [B]endless [C#m]worship
[A]Will be our sweet [B]portion [E]there

[CHORUS]
What a [A]friend we have in [E]Jesus
What [B]a friend we have in [C#m]him
For he [A]knows us and he [E]holds us in his [B]hands
And his [A]grace is never [E]failing
And his [B]love without an [C#m]end
What a [A]friend we have in [E]Jesus
What a [B]friend we have in [E]him
What a [A]friend we have in [E]Jesus
What a [B]friend we have in [E]him
