What A Friend We Have In Jesus
 
[Intro]
D G D A
 
[Verse 1]
D                        G         D                         A
What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!
D                   G      D       A           D
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
A                     D         G          D            A
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
D                     G       D      A           D
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!
 
[Verse 2]
D                      G            D                 A
Have we trials and temptations?  Is there trouble anywhere?
D                  G               D        A              D
We should never be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer.
A                       D         G           D              A
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
D                    G          D         A             D
Jesus know our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer.

On the Precious Memories album the first verse and chorus are in C# or play capo on first fret and stay in the key of C. Then in the second verse and chorus they go a half setup up. Thanks.

Hi. On third line of each verse there is a D7 after D (forfeit/faithful/forsake thee)
