Take It To The Lord Poem by TSOHGEHT SHEEHY

What a friend we have in Jesus.
All our sins and grief to bare!
What a priviledge to carry,
everything to God in prayer.

Oh, what peace we often forfeit.
Oh, what needless pain we bare.
All becauase 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 our friends despise and forsake thee?
Take it to the ALord in prayer!
In his arms he will take and shield thee,
we will find solace there.

Blessed Savior, thou hast promised.
Thou will all our burdens bare.
May we ever Lord, be bringing
all to thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright and unclouded.
There will be no need for prayer.
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
will be our sweet portion there.
