The Evergreen ‎#74

74. Tell Jesus

1 Little ones are often sorry,
For the naughty things they do,
Troubles reach us all and worry,
Little hearts, and big ones, too,
Then tell Jesus, then tell Jesus,
That’s the best thing we can do.

Chorus:
Jesus knows all our want,
All our trouble and woe,
He will surely relieve
Because He loves us so.

2 Jesus knows when we are tempted,
Jesus sees us when we fall;
Jesus died, and we’re exempted,
He was sorry for us all;
He’ll forgive us, he’ll forgive us,
If upon His name we call. [Chorus]

3 Let us tell Him all our trouble,
Tell Him we are sorry, too;
He will do us kindness double,
Help us to be good and true,
And forgive us, and forgive us,
Yes, oh yes! and love us, too. [Chorus]
