Does Jesus Care?
 

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth and song;
As the burden press, and the cares distress,
And the way grows weary and long?

Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the day light 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 I find no relief,
Tho' my tears flow all the night long?

Does Jesus care when I've said "good-by"
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it nealy breaks
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

O 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

~ Frank E. Graeff ~

 

Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time:

Casting all your care upon Him;
for He careth for you.

I Peter 5: 6,7
