Seize the Moment – Day 788

Today’s hymn focus will be

I Must Tell Jesus

 

Hebrews 2:18 (ESV)
        

 

“For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.”

 

While pastoring in Lebanon, PA, Elisha Hoffman called on one of his parishioners and found her in great sorry and distress. She kept asking “What can I do…What can I do?” to which he replied “You cannot do better than to take it all to Jesus… you must tell Jesus!” She took these words to heart, meditating on them, then her countenance changed and her face began to glow and she became animated and proclaimed, “Yes, I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus!”

 

Leaving what was originally a sorrow-filled home, he walked home and his thoughts were filled with her joy-illuminated face, transforming her soul from a place of darkness into the light of the Lord. So he echoed those words in this song:

 

          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.

 

We need to wake up and realize like this woman did that we are to take everything to Jesus in prayer every day, and walk in the assurance that He has taken care of all of it.

I Must Tell Jesus

 
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 to win. [Refrain]
