I Must Tell Jesus
Virtue · Other Songs - Virtue
I must tell Jesus all my trials.
I can not bear these burdens alone.
In my distress he, how he will help me.
He ever loves and cares for his own.
He'll never leave me or forsake me.
He's right there by my side.
Never alone, never alone, alone.
My every need he supplies, my father cares that's why,
I don't have to worry, I don't have to worry.
If you have some problems in your life that you can't solve,
Just remember the one who loves all,
And he's right there when you call. When you call.
[Chorus]
He'll never leave or forsake you, he's always right their by your side.
Your every need he supplies, the father cares that's why.
You don't have to worry, no. Your burdens you won't bear alone.
Even in the darkest night, he's sure to be your guiding light.
I Must Tell Jesus
Virtue's "I Must Tell Jesus" stands as a defining anthem of the contemporary Christian rock movement, blending raw emotional intensity with polished production. Released during the early 2000s, the track exemplifies the genre's shift toward anthemic choruses and direct theological messaging, echoing the influence of bands like Third Day and MercyMe. The song's driving rhythm and soaring vocals make it a staple in worship settings, reflecting the era's emphasis on personal testimony and communal praise. As part of Virtue's broader discography, which includes albums like "Virtuosity" and "Testimony," the recording captures the band's ability to merge rock energy with spiritual conviction, cementing their reputation as a significant voice in modern evangelical music.
