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 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 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,
And in my griefs with me He will blend.
He is a kind, compassionate Friend;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
And in my griefs with me He will blend.

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,
One who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
He all my cares and sorrows will share,

O how the world to evil allures me!
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus; He will enable
Over the world the vic’try to win.
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus; He will enable
Over the world the vic’try to win.

When I am wrongly accused by my own family for no reason, I sing this song to myself for I know that Jesus is my righteous Advocate. I don’t need to justify myself!
Jesus will one day tell my story !
Thank you Jesus! 🙌🏼🔥

My 46 year old son had a stroke 3 1/2 months ago. It was 20 days after my breast cancer surgery. I was unable to get to the doctor for about 6 months God has done such an amazing work in both of us. But JESUS knows all and I have to dig deep every day and allow myself to be a humble woman. God is certainly on The Throne!!

I found myself in a financial mess. Facing financial embarrassment at work.. In my confusion on what to do, this song came to my mind, y late. Aunty would always sing this and believe so much. I didn't know the wordings so I looked it up. This is me saying Jesus, help me through this difficult time I cannot do this on my own🙏🙏😭😭😭

This morning, I was in my car when I heard this song on the radio, it’s a beautiful song. I knew God was speaking to me and telling me to tell all my fears, doubts and anxieties to Jesus. It was an assurance and confirmation!

May 24, 2026, 5:52 am, I woke up humming this beautiful hymn, but couldn't remember the lyrics. Thank God I found them. The Holy Spirit prompted me, and my soul cried out, "I must tell Jesus!" I cannot carry these burdens alone. In my distress, HE WILL hear me.
