11594. Don't You Know He Cares?

1 When your spirit bows in sorrow,
From the load it bears,
Go and tell your heart to Jesus—
Don’t you know He cares?

Refrain:
Yes, there is One who shares your burdens,
Every sorrow shares;
Go and tell it all to Jesus—
Don’t you know He cares?

2 Have your feet become entangled
In the tempter’s snares?
Yet you will not be forsaken—
Don’t you know He cares? [Refrain]

3 Is your body filled with anguish,
With the pain it bears?
Think of how the Savior suffered—
Don’t you know He cares? [Refrain]
