Today's hymn is "I Must Tell Jesus". This kind of goes well with the first hymn from this week. We have so many things that press upon us; our own burdens and the burdens of others. We were never meant to carry things on our own. In Christ, the body of believers (the church) can bear one another's burdens; but if we don't have that fellowship (for whatever reason), don't forget the Head of the church is always there. Go to Him in prayer, speak with Him, trust in Him, and find peace.
Lyrics:
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.
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,
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 vic’try to win.
