I Must Tell Jesus

Many years I longed for rest

Perfect peace within my breast

So I often sought the Lord alone in tears

But I would not pay the price

Would not make the sacrifice

So I wandered on and on for many years

Chorus

Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee

May myself disdain, my friends see only Thee

Though it cost me grief and pain

I will find my life again

If I lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee

Then one day while knelt in prayer

Jesus whispered to me there

Take my cross and follow me to Calvary

Oh, how hard it was to die

And myself to crucify

Just to lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee

Repeat Chorus

Lord, I could not stand alone

When I come before Thy throne

Help me bring at least one soul, dear Lord, to Thee

Here I give myself away

Take me, use me, Lord, I pray

Just to lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee

Repeat Chorus
