Jesus Will Listen to Me

When my soul is bowed down in the dark­ness

With tri­als and temp­ta­tion and woe

When no mor­tal can com­fort or cheer me

To whom in that hour shall I go?

Jesus will list­en to me

Je­sus will list­en to me

When

with bur­dens break­ing

my heart is ach­ing

Then Je­sus will list­en to me.

When my friends and my trust­ed ones leave me

Then

shroud­ed in sor­row and fear

All alone in the midst of earth’s con­flict

I still have a list­en­ing ear.

When my heart and my life have grown wea­ry

With fail­ure and trou­ble and loss

I may still ask for help and for com­fort

From hands that were nailed to the cross.

When I find that my life’s day is end­ing

And sha­dows of ev­en­tide fall

When I en­ter the dark

lone­ly val­ley

Ah

then up­on whom shall I call?
