Words: Frank E. Graeff, 1901.
Frank Graeff (1860-1919) went through some very difficult trials. The period before writing this song was one of great despondency, doubt and physical pain. When he turned to God's Word, 1 Peter 5:7 gave wonderful comfort: "He cares for you." After meditating on that truth, Graeff wrote these lyrics, with the resounding affirmation in the chorus, "O yes, He cares…" Music: Joseph Lincoln Hall (1866-1930) |
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
