E                     A      E                       B
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care
E                    A       E       B              E
Brother Jesus is our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer

[Verse 1]
E                        A      E                          B
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear
E                   A     E    B               E
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
E                     A        E                        B
O what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear
E                     A     E    B               E
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer


[Interlude 2]

[Verse 2]
E                      A        E                   B
Have we trials and temptations, is there trouble anywhere
E                   A           E       B              E
We should never be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer
E                       A        E                        B
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share
E                     A         E       B              E
Jesus knows our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer


[Interlude 2]
C#m B                E
 Oh what a friend we have
C#m    B      E
In the son of man         x2


[Outro]
E                     A      E                       B
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care
E                    A       E       B              E
Brother Jesus is our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer
