Lyrics
1 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.
About Author:
Joseph M. Scriven (b. Seapatrick, County Down, Ireland, 1819; d. Bewdley, Rice Lake, ON, Canada, 1886), an Irish immigrant to Canada, wrote this text near Port Hope, Ontario, in 1855. Because his life was filled with grief and trials, Scriven often needed the solace of the Lord as described in his famous hymn.
Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, he enrolled in a military college to prepare for an army career. However, poor health forced him to give up that ambition. Soon after came a second blow-his fiancée died in a drowning accident on the eve of their wedding in 1844. Later that year he moved to Ontario, where he taught school in Woodstock and Brantford. His plans for marriage were dashed again when his new bride-to-be died after a short illness in 1855. Following this calamity Scriven seldom had a regular income, and he was forced to live in the homes of others. He also experienced mistrust from neighbors who did not appreciate his eccentricities or his work with the underprivileged. A member of the Plymouth Brethren, he tried to live according to the Sermon on the Mount as literally as possible, giving and sharing all he had and often doing menial tasks for the poor and physically disabled. Because Scriven suffered from depression, no one knew if his death by drowning in Rice Lake was suicide or an accident.
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because 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

Thanks a lot brother Kofi. We give glory to Jesus. The one who wrote this hymn lived in my exact city and died in a city nearby. I have his story below the lyrics in the description. Very worth a read...it makes the hymn so much more meaningful. GOD bless you
@@esongsore interesting one
Such a beautiful arrangement. Our God's Love is surely with you and your works. May I use the audio for a worship broadcast for my church? It would be use as Prelude and Postlude and will show your channel's name on the screen as credit. Thank you, brother.
Yes, you can use this for your church broadcast. All glory to Jesus
Love your channel! I'm just starting my own looking to do the same types of vidoes! I love doing instrumentals of hymns and Christian songs, so I appreciate what you're doing here. :)
I give glory to JESUS. I just listened to your piano instrumental. It is so so so beautiful. Please keep posting. You play very beautifully.
Emmanuel_S Music Yes, He gets all glory! Thank you, I will!
Soulful music Sir. Thanks for Sharing. can you tell me which company of keyboard(with Model no.) you are using ?
I am using a Native Instruments midi controller here. Its the Komplete Kontrol MK2. I am using software piano sounds, so any keyboard connected to my computer will sound the same. :)
@@esongsore Thanks for reply sir
What keyboard is that?
It's a midi controller with no inbuilt sounds: Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2.

To GOD be the glory. Thanks for listening
Pls start teaching I want to learn how to play it
I wish I could teach. In all honesty, that is not what GOD is calling me to do in this season of my life. I will be posting some general tutorials, lessons and thoughts in future...but for now, I will continue to do what I believe HE has called me to do. If you would like lessons, I can definitely recommend some channels and resources. You can shoot me an email for further information. GOD bless you.
@@esongsore times and seasons. I'll be waiting too for how to go about that. You can be taught but it takes grace to catch the annointing to play and worship at the same time
Drop ur email address Sir

Wow sir, this was awesome, thank you for sharing!
I play this too, but not as good as this I don't think.
I subscribed & liked for that support! Won't you as well? Many thanks!
All glory to JESUS. None of us play better than the other, we just play differently. GOD is concerned about us maximizing our gifts (we are given different measures) and worshipping HIM from a place of genuineness and total surrender to JESUS. Your music is lovely...keep up the good work.
God bless you
GOD bless you too my friend.
❤️
Glory to JESUS. Thanks for the love.
