Christ in Song ‎#492

492. Does Jesus Care?

1 Does Jesus care when my heart is pain'd
Too deeply for mirth or 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 Saviour 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 fail'd
To resist some temptation strong?
When in my deep grief
I find no relief,
Tho' my tears flow all the night long? [Chorus]

4 Does Jesus care when I've said "good-bye"
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches
'Till it nearly breaks
Is this aught to Him? does He see? [Chorus]
