Does Jesus Care

D               G       D
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
    A7                  D
Too deeply for mirth or song,
                              G
As the burdens press, and the cares distress
        D         A7        D
And the way grows weary and long?

Chorus:
D  A       D
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,
          A7 E               A   A7
His heart is touched with my grief;
         D                   G6   G
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
  D         A7   D
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?

Chorus

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?

Chorus

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?

Chorus
