DOES JESUS CARE?
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?
Does Jesus care when 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?
Does Jesus care when I have tried and failed to resist some temotation strong;
When for my deepest grief I find no relief, tho my tears flow all the night long?
Does Jesus care when I have said "good-by" to the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks-is it aught to Him? Does He care?
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 Saviour cares.
