Does Jesus Care? - Lyrics ~ Frank E. Graeff, Music ~ J. Lincoln Hall

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained

Too deeply for mirth and song;

As the burdens press, and the cares distress,

And the way grows weary and long?

 

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 I find no relief,

Tho 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?

 

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. (He cares.)

 

 

II. DOES JESUS KNOW? [v. 25-34]

 

1. Jairus must Wonder about this Lesser Need [v. 25-29]

2. Jairus must Wonder about this Lingering Needlessly [v. 30-33]

3. Jairus must Wonder about this Loving Knowledge [v. 34]

 

He Maketh No Mistake  by A. M. Overton

 

My Father's way may twist and turn,

My heart may throb and ache,

But in my soul I'm glad I know

He maketh no mistake.

 

My cherished plans may go astray,

My hopes may fade away,

But still I'll trust my Lord to lead

For He doth know the way.

 

Tho' night be dark and it may seem

That day will never break,

I'll pin my faith, my all in Him;

He maketh no mistake.

 

There's so much now I cannot see,

My eyesight's far too dim;

But come what may, I'll simply trust

And leave it all to Him.

 

For by and by the mist will lift,

And plain it all He'll make.

Through all the way, tho' dark to me,

He made not one mistake.

 

III. DOES JESUS HAVE THE POWER? [V. 35-43]

 

1. Jairus Must Fear the Cold Sentence [v. 35]

2. Jairus Must Hear the Comforting Saviour [v. 36]

3. Jairus Must Cheer the Commanding Sovereign [v. 37-43]

 

Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder                                                   

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made                                                     

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder                                                               

Thy power throughout the universe displayed                                                   

 

Chorus:

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art
