When your spirit bows in sorrow

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

Have your feet become entangled
In the tempter’s snares?
There is One who died to save you,—
Don’t you know He cares?

Have you been by grief o’ertaken,-
Stricken unawares?
Yet you will not be forsaken-
Don’t you know He cares?

So amid life’s cares and struggles,
Blending songs with prayers—
Always put your trust in Jesus—
Don’t you know He cares?

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