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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh, how the world to evil allures me! Oh, how my heart is tempted to sin! I must tell Jesus, and he will help me over the world the vict'ry to win.
