Growing up as a little girl I would hear the choir sing this song. While singing along with them I had no idea what I was singing. But TGBTG 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I now know what it means to take IT to the Lord in prayer!!! Ohhhhh what a friend we have in sweet Jesus!!! This rendition sent me❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@lotusdevine7806]

This song makes me wanna pray. Hear the cries of my heart Lord. Take hold buckler and shield and fight for me. When mine enemies and my foes compelled against me to eat up my flesh they stumbled and fall. Thank you God that I'm a beginner at least I'm on the bus.🙏

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 carry everything to God in prayer! 2 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! 3 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 your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.

[@mariovaughn5711]

I woke up with this song in my spirit this morning! I had no idea the holy spirit was going to lead me to this version of " What a Friend We Have IN Jesus". I'm going thru some things right now. Rent is due, tuition is due and I don't have all the money that is needed! But I know the God I serve has it in his hands! The past couple of days I felt so discouraged. But God! Last night I got on my knees and gave it all to God I mean I gave it all to him! I know I have the victory!! Gods will is not my will! I know that where God leads God provides! In Jesus name Amen!

[@zanetasmith9954]

She dead just stood there flat footed and BODIED A HYMN !!!!!! See these new songs are all good and well, but there's nothing like a good hymn to get you through. And those young people were getting delivered up there! I wish there was a recording of what happened AFTER this!! She's anointed FORREAL! My Aunt sang with her in Walter Hawkins' choir and she's been singing like this for years!

I have been singing this song all week to get myself through some stuff.. But when I heard this arrangement.... "Everything, take it to the Lord in prayer!!" It moved me so.

[@anjanetthomas3288]

Wow Rodney I love this song. Thanks so much it really ministered to me...gotta go play it again and again

[@rodneycorbin3912]

I was really in a rough patch.. I'd been singing the song to myself all week but then I needed to hear someone else. When I heard this song I was on my face. I love the arrangement and San really did some good singing on this song! Glad it could minister to you!

[@joeldio2]

The dude who wrote this song, his fiancee died by drowning the night before his wedding. The Plymouth Brethren were estranging him from his family. He left for Canada from Dublin. He gave his wealth away, and worked for free for poor widows and the sick. Then his mother was sick in Dublin. So he wrote this lyric sent her in a letter. When he was sick in bed a friend visited him and found these lines in a notebook. The friend asked him if he wrote these lines and he said, its between me and God. Eventually the author himself died by accidental drowning. His name is Joseph Scriven. The hymn was added in the last minute in Ira Sankeys Gospel Hymns. It nearly didn’t make it. That’s Jesus. You’d think he cant make it. And then He shows up. Its the best timing.

[@Thisistheday3]

God Bless these young people and this powerful Woman of God that's leading!!! Such an anointed ministry in song!!!

[@colsomemiah6095]

Talking to my closest "Bestie ..Jesus; His peace enfolds me as he promisedJn.14:27 :first thanking him, then telling him whatever the situation is, and when I get up off my knees, I erupt in loud praise, alone, in our beautiful house we loved, but Satan's dwi drivers still don't win, cuz it made me closer to my glorious Lord and Savior, and REAL, LIVE ,JESUS!!

This song, (which isn’t even a good enough word to describe this), is soo so so beautiful. It was Recomended to me about a week ago. And I haven’t stopped playing it. It soothes my soul, they. The singers, sooth my soul. I have heard this blessed hymn so many times, but not like this. It lifts me up, it takes me closer to humanity, to love, to joy, to the lord and saviour. I’m so grateful that In this time of darkness and hate, this hymn, this version of this hymn found me. And ABSOLUTLEY, unequivocally penetrated my very essence. Love to all🙏🏾❤️
