Does Jesus Care?

 When we believers turn loose of our lives and willingly place ourselves under the Lord, He will use us for His glory.

He will see to the needs that arise in our lives, because He loves us. 


Talk to Jesus about what’s going on in your life. 


1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 


[7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


Does Jesus Care?

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:

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?


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?


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?


Frank E. Graeff  1901
