WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS LYRICS

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 will find a solace there.

Thsnk you for sharing. I like this version. This bring me close to Jesus. I can't live without Jesus. He appeared to me many times, when I need hugs, He appeared to me, in my vision in my sleep i was in the middle of storm, He came down from the sky and He walked towards me, and He hugs me. He wore white robe and white scarf covered His head. In 2020, He appeared to me and revealed His face to me. It was amazing. He sat beside me and His Spirit guides me what to do. He is good God. Being with Him I felt joy, happy and secure. Maybe one day i will share this. He showed me this world spinning on the palm of His hands. I saw everything. Somehow, my eyes connected with Him, whatever He saw, I saw. It was very long vision. He took my soul up to Him. And in 2023, I was outside the heaven gates, kneeling to Him, He was in His golden robe. I could hear with my real ears the sound of His golden robe you know tge sound of gold. I was amazed. That's happened after I asked Him if i can lay hands on sick people or pray for sick people or those who needs healing. Maybe He approved me, i don't know. But i really like praying for thesick, since i was a little girl i always pray for my suck animals.

He is faithful God, He is amazing. I found peace, love and joy only in Him. He is my everything.

When no one wants to hear what you have to say, Jesus does. When the ones surrounding you don't have the space to hold the burdens you are holding, Jesus does. Let's stop looking to our friends and family as our source of strength and comfort and placing expectations on them they can't meet. Therapy and counseling can be helpful. Our church and pastor can provide support. But Jesus is the only one built to carry it all. Every burden, every tear, every worry, every care. Some burdens are too sacred to share, God sized and no human strength or emotion can handle it. And sometimes those burdens are heavy enough to remind you who loves you most and who holds the answers to the whys. Place it all on His shoulders and cry in front of Him. Let His truth and love wash over you and remind you who He created you to be. Remind you He holds space in His arms for you always and He never gets tired from hearing your woes and all your cries.

I just discovered your music today through looking for a good version of this song to sing along with.

I love classic hymns and I've been complaining to my husband for years that no one releases versions of the old hymns that are updated in musical style but still just simple and easy to sing along with. Usually they add extra refrains or get unnecessarily fancy with the vocals or rhythm; I just wanted something I could use to sing along with with my kids and students and teach them the hymns, something that was straightforward and classic in style, but had good recording quality and contemporary instruments.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to discover your music! This is exactly what I've been looking for for years. I will be purchasing as many of your albums as I can! Thank you so much. Keep up the good work, and God bless!

THE GOOD NEWS: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. HE IS COMING !
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John 14.1-6; Titus 2:11-15.

Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.1 John 2:1-2. The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him.

The Birth of Jesus Christ
Isaiah 7: 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died (John 19:30; Luke 23:46 ) and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew 28: 6.

Isaiah 53:" 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities (SINS): the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23
" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"

THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
“For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
" In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19.
Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
"And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22

BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."

Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death. He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above.

WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH
Romans 10:
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8.
