The Blessing (D)
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 carryEverything 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 faithfulWho will all our sorrows share?Jesus knows our every weakness,Take it to the Lord in prayer.
May His favor be upon youAnd a thousand generationsAnd your family and your childrenAnd their children, and their children
(Repeat 4x)
May His presence go before youAnd behind you, and beside youAll around you, and within youHe is with you, He is with you

He is for you, He is for youHe is for you, He is for youHe is for you, He is for you…
