All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything
Oh, what peace we often forfeit.
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
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, steal 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
Take it to the Lord in prayer
