Today, I simply want to share the words to a song that is a great blessing. This song was written by Frank E. Graeff and is titled “Does Jesus Care?” It says:
Verse 1 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?
Verse 2 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?
Verse 3 Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed To resist some temptation strong; When for my deep grief I find no relief, Though my tears flow all the night long?
Verse 4 Does Jesus care when I’ve said good bye To the dearest on earth to me, And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks – Is it aught to Him? Does He see?
Now the truth is – many of us have been in these kinds of places. We have been in situations just like these and we have asked ourselves the same questions “Does Jesus care?”
We are like the disciples out in the ship in Mark 4. We are in the storm. The water is coming in the boat – but our fear and worry often overtakes the faith that we have – and then we say to Jesus like they did, “Master, carest thou not that we perish?”
I am glad that the songwriter did not leave us hanging though – instead he answered the question in the chorus:
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.
Friend, we can thank God that we have a Savior that cares about what we are going through! Thank God that He is available to help in the day and hour of trouble!
Hebrews 4:15-16 says, “15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
Thank God that HE is there to help us whenever we are in need!
