Does Jesus Care?

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?

Oh 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.

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?

Does Je­sus care when I’ve tried and failed

To re­sist some temp­ta­tion strong;

When for my deep grief there is no re­lief

Though my tears flow all the night long?

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?
