8. When I Go to Jesus in Prayer

1 It helps me forget ev’ry sorrow,
It helps me forget ev’ry care,
It lightens and brightens each morrow
When I go to Jesus in prayer.

Refrain:
When I go to Jesus in prayer,
He hears and He answers me there;
How He lightens my way,
How He brightens my day
When I go to Jesus in prayer.

2 It helps me be strong in temptation,
It helps me escape ev’ry snare;
I learn more of His great salvation
When I go to Jesus in prayer. [Refrain]

3 I know I have help that is near me,
He all of my trials will share;
I know I have someone to hear me
When I go to Jesus in prayer [Refrain]

4 Sweet rest to the soul when I’m weary
And strength I can always find there;
The days are not lonely nor dreary
When I go to Jesus in prayer. [Refrain]
