I would APPRECIATE it if some one has the words to this song that I can print out the chords would be nice but not imperative.

Hi DonnaMarie,
I found several versions of the same chorus and then some with verses.
They are all different so it would be helpful if we knew the rendition you need.
I started transcribing this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuLt6D_HzFc
but thought I'd ask if it was the one you wanted or is it another?
Nancy
The following are some of the different choruses

Why worry when you can pray
Trust Jesus. He is there always
Be careful then for nothing
God's promise fully trusting
Why worry, worry, worry, when you can pray?

and

Why worry, when you can pray?
Trust Jesus, He will be your stay.
Don't be a doubting Thomas,
lean fully on His promise,
Why worry, worry, worry, worry when you can pray?
When you can pray, when you can pray, when you can pray

and

Why worry, when you can pray?
ask Jesus He will lead the way
Don't be like doubtful Thomas,
Lean upon on His promise,
Why worry, worry, worry, when you can pray?

and

Why worry, when you can pray?
Seek Jesus, He will make a way.
Don't be like doubtful Thomas,
Just rest upon His promise,
Why worry, worry, worry, when you can pray?

When I was little we sang the ckassic full version of the sing, i remeber the first verse and chorus, i cannot find it on internet,
There was a time I worried
About each little thing
I never thought if praying
I never tried to sing
But when day when my troubles
Seemed like a mountain high
I heard a voice within me
That silenced every sigh

Why worry when you can oray
Trust Jesus, he’ll be your stay
Din’t be a doubting Thomas
Rest fully on his promise
Why worry, worry
Worry, worry
When you can pray.
