214   DOES JESUS CARE?




[V1]


Does Jesus care when my heart is pained,
Too deeply for mirth or song;
As the burdens press, And the cares distress,
And the way grows weary and long.

[C]
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 (He cares)

[V2]
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?

[C]
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 (He cares)

[V3]
Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed,
To resist some temptation strong?
When in my deep grief I find no relief,
Tho’ my tears flow all the night long?

[C]
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 (He cares)

[V4]
Does Jesus care when I’ve said “good-by”
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches, ‘Till it nearly breaks,
Is this aught to Him? Does He see?

[C]
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 (He cares)
