Scripture
1 John 1:9
Verse 1
I must tell Jesus all of my trials;
I cannot bear the burdens alone,
In my distress He kindly will help me,
He ever loves and cares for His own.
Refrain
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;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
Makes of my troubles quickly an end.
Verse 3
O how the world to evil allures me!
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus, and He will help me
Over the world the vict'ry to win.
