Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7

Make a full, complete confession
When on the Lord you call;
Do not carry half the burden,
But tell the Master all.
Refrain
All, all, whatever your burdens may be,
Whether great or small;
Make to Him a full confession,
Just tell the Master all.
Not alone the great temptations
That may your heart appall,
But the little cares and troubles,
Just tell the Master all.
Refrain
For the One who guards creation
And notes the sparrow’s fall,
Will give heed to your petition,
Just tell the Master all.
Refrain
Tell to God your cares and sorrows,
And nothing count too small,
For His ear is ever open,
Just tell the Master all.
Refrain
Till at last you reach that city,
Where teardrops never fall,
When you pray to Him in secret,
Just tell the Master all.
