Lyrics

Verse 1
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?

Chorus
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares, (I Pet. 5:7)
His heart is touched with my grief; (Heb. 2:18, Isa. 53:3-4)
When the days are wea­ry, the long nights drea­ry,
I know my Sav­ior cares.

Verse 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? (Ps. 145:18)

Verse 3
Does Je­sus care when I’ve tried and failed
To re­sist some temp­ta­tion strong; (Heb. 2:18, I Cor. 10:13)
When for my deep grief there is no re­lief,
Though my tears flow all the night long? (Ps. 6:6, Ps. 42:3, Ps. 56:8)

Verse 4
Does Je­sus care when I’ve said good­bye
To the dear­est on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it near­ly breaks, (Ps. 34:18)
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?
