1 I must tell Jesus all of my trials; I cannot bear these 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.
2 I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, He is a kind, compassionate friend; If I but ask Him, He will deliver, Make of my troubles quickly an end. [Refrain]
3 Tempted and tried I need a great Savior, One who can help my burdens to bear I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus; He all my cares and sorrows will share. [Refrain]
4 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 win. [Refrain]
