What a Friend We Have in Jesus
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.
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 thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there.
Was running some errands this afternoon for work and at the train station this song came into my head and i was getting teary-eyed. I remember going to my dad's godmother's funeral in JC and someone saying in his eulogy that it was her favourite song. she was a woman who never minced her words and seemed so strong. I guess all of us, despite what we show on the outside are all susceptable to feeling weak and vulnerable and angry and frustrated. For a moment it felt like a Hand was scooping down to rest on my shoulder and say 'it's ok.... I see it...I'll take away the pain..."
Got back to the office feeling better and got a pleasant surprise. Tracey came by to pass some of the chalet stuff and she gave me $20 and told me that Leonard will give me the remaining $8. Apparently they REALLY were counting money that Saturday when we played mahjong...
