"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?

Chorus
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?

[Repeat Chorus]

Does Jesus care when I've tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong;
When for my deep grief I find no relief,
Though my tears flow all the night long?

[Repeat Chorus]

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?

[Repeat Chorus two times]

When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.
