181. Does Jesus Care?

A               D       A                   E                   A
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth or song,

A                             D                      A         E         A
As the burdens press, and the cares distress And the way grows weary and long?

A  E7               A                  E        B7              E
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares, His heart is touched with my grief;

E7   A                       D                     A       E      A
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my Savior cares.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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?

[Refrain]
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. (He 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?

[Verse 3]
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?
