Jesus Knows

Verse 1

In your pathway have you found some cruel thorns? Jesus bore them on His brow, and He knows; Does the world look down upon you with its frown? All the world forsook your Lord, and He knows.

Chorus

Jesus knows, yes, He knows; He was weary, worn, and tried, Bore our many sins beside, Hungry, thirsty, crucified, and He knows.

Verse 2

Are you weary with the toils and cares of life? Jesus labored night and day, and He knows; Does the sinful world annoy you with its strife? Jesus saw and heard it all, and He knows.

Verse 3

Are you tempted with the world so rich and gay? Jesus once was tempted, too, and He knows; Does the tempter seek to turn you from the way? Jesus will your helper be, for He knows.

Verse 4

Has the hand of death your eyes bedimmed with tears? Jesus wept for one He loved, and He knows; For some wand’rer have you prayed for many years? Jesus prayed for sinners lost, and He knows.

Verse 5

Have your friends forsaken, spurned you from their door? So they did your blessed Lord, and He knows; Is there none to cheer and comfort anymore? Jesus bore the cross alone, and He knows.
