I’ve Found That Jesus Cares

I once was sad and lone­ly

No hope my heart could see;

I thought that I was friend­less

That no one cared for me;

But clouds away were driv­en

No more my heart des­pairs

For I

His cross be­hold­ing

Have found that Je­sus cares.

Whate’er may go

this do I know

My Lord abides for aye;

He cares for me

He bears for me

The bur­dens of the day.

Before me still are tri­als

Yet I need have no fear

Since Je­sus

friend un­fail­ing

To me is ev­er near;

With joy my heart is sing­ing

As on my way I fare

To know I’m not for­got­ten

To know my Lord doth care.

It mat­ters not how drea­ry

May be the path you tread

This friend can take your sor­row

And give you joy in­stead;

Oh

bring your sins to Je­sus

Your bur­dens and your cares

And learn how great His kind­ness

How much the Sav­ior cares.
