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?

Refrain

Oh 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.

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?

Refrain

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?

Refrain

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?

Refrain
