October Theme: Blessed to be a Blessing
October Hymn: What a Friend We Have in Jesus
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! Oh, what peace we often forfeit; Oh, 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.
October Theme Verse:
Mathew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
