I Must Tell Jesus

Verse 1
I must tell Je­sus all of my tri­als; (Ps. 142:2)
I can­not bear these bur­dens alone; (Ps. 55:22)
In my dis­tress He kind­ly will help me; (Ps. 107:6)
He ev­er loves and cares for His own. (I Pet. 5:7)

Chorus
I must tell Je­sus! I must tell Je­sus!
I can­not bear my bur­dens alone;
I must tell Je­sus! I must tell Je­sus!
Jesus can help me, Je­sus alone.

Verse 2
I must tell Je­sus all of my trou­bles;
He is a kind, com­pas­sion­ate friend; (John 15:13-15, Heb. 4:15)
If I but ask Him, He will de­li­ver, (Ps. 34:17, Ps. 50:15)
Make of my trou­bles quick­ly an end.

Verse 3
Tempted and tried, I need a great Sav­ior;
One who can help my bur­dens to bear; (Heb. 2:18, Heb. 4:15)
I must tell Je­sus, I must tell Je­sus;
He all my cares and sor­rows will share. (Isa. 53:4)

Verse 4
O how the world to ev­il al­lures me! (I John 2:15-16)
O how my heart is tempt­ed to sin!
I must tell Je­sus, and He will help me
Over the world the vic­to­ry to win. (I John 5:4-5, John 16:33)
