~Lyrics~
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]
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.

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?

[CHORUS]

3. 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?

[CHORUS]

4. Does Jesus care when I’ve said “goodbye”
To dearest on earth to me?
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks,
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

[CHORUS]
