Savior! I’ve No One Else to Tell - meaning Summary
A Plea to the Savior
A speaker directly addresses the Savior, confessing isolation and a sense of having neglected God while seeking reassurance of being remembered. She describes bringing an "imperial Heart" to the Savior but lacking strength to hold it, and having carried her own heart until it grew unbearably heavy. Even after offering it, the burden feels greater, prompting a final, vulnerable question about whether her heart is "too large" for divine acceptance. Themes are longing, confession, and uncertainty.

Nor, for myself, I came so far That were the little load I brought thee the imperial Heart I had not strength to hold The Heart I carried in my own Till mine too heavy grew Yet strangest heavier since it went Is it too large for you?
