Saturday Psalm & Praise: What A Friend We Have in Jesus
Posted By Jacque on July 4, 2008
Oh, to hold onto Jesus and just rest in Him.
Through the trials.
Through the pain.
Through the tears.
Through the shame.
When I am so happy I could explode.
And so sorrowful I could melt into the ground.
I do have a Friend who is always there and always understands.
And so do you!
What A Friend We Have in Jesus
Joseph M. Scriven, 1855
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything 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 Savior, 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.
Do not be discouraged. You have a friend who will stick closer than a brother.

John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
blessings!
