#289: Does Jesus Care?

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained

Too deeply for mirth and song;

As the burdens press, and the cares distress,

And the way grows weary and long?

CHORUS

O yes, He cares – I know He cares!

His heart is touched with my grief;

When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,

I know my Savior cares. (He Cares.)

2

Does Jesus care when my way is dark

With a nameless dread and fear?

As the daylight fades into deep night shades,

Does He care enough to be near?

CHORUS

3

Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed

To resist some temptation strong;

When for my deep grief I find no relief,

Tho my tears flow all the night long?

CHORUS

4

Does Jesus care when I’ve said goodbye

To the dearest on earth to me,

And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks —

Is it aught to Him? does He see?

CHORUS
