Jesus, Jesus Can I Tell You (how I feel | what I know )

This simple hymn is a statement of faith in, or love for, Jesus.

The author and composer are unknown: some people say that it was popular in the "Jesus movement" in the 1960s / 70s, but no published versions have been found (presumably because it is so simple, they weren't needed).

The song may be sung as a round, and is more-commonly used at youth events, campfires, etc.
