DOES JESUS CARE
Author(s): Peter D.
Songbook: Dad's Songs of Comfort
KeyWords: Christmas,

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;
His heart is filled with my grief.-
Though the days are dreary, the long nights weary,
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?

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3
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?

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 4
Does Jesus care when I've said, "Good bye"
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches 'til it nearly breaks,
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

[Repeat Chorus]
