SOMEBODY CARES
Somebody knows when your heart aches
And everything seems to go wrong;
Somebody knows when the shadows
Need chasing away with song;
Somebody knows when you're lonely,
Tired, discouraged and blue;
Somebody wants you to know Him,
And know that He dearly loves you.
Somebody knows when you're tempted,
And your mind grows dizzy and dim;
Somebody cares when you're weakest,
And farthest away from Him;
Somebody grieves when you've fallen,
You are not lost from His sight;
Somebody waits for your coming,
And He'll drive the gloom from the night.
Somebody loves you when weary,
Somebody loves you when strong,
Always awaiting to help you,
He watches you - one of the throng.
Needing His friendship so holy?
Needing His watch care so true?
His name? We call His name " Jesus, "
He loves everyone. He loves you.
