What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Alan Jackson 
Precious Memories CD

Intro: C#-F#-C#-G#-C#


C#                       F#
What a friend we have in Jesus,
 C#                        G#
All our sins and griefs to bear!
 C#                 F#
What a privilege to carry
 C#      G#             C#
Everything to God in prayer!

G#                    C#
O what peace we often forfeit,
F#      C#              G#
O what needless pain we bear,
C#                     F#
All because we do not carry
C#      G#              C#
Everything to God in prayer!
