Does Jesus Know

Representative Text

1 Does Jesus know when hearts are full of sunshine?
Does Jesus know when all the world is bright?
Does Jesus know we need Him in our gladness?
Does Jesus know and guide aright?

Refrain:
O yes, He knows our every joy and sorrow,
And grace sufficient He bestows;
O yes, He knows, and when we fail or falter,
His love o’erflows, because He knows.

2 Does Jesus know when hearts are nearly breaking?
Does Jesus know about our doubts and fears?
Does Jesus know we need Him in our sadness?
Does Jesus know and dry our tears? [Refrain]

3 Does Jesus know the tempter’s voice is calling?
Does Jesus know we would not go astray?
Does Jesus know we need His tender guidance?
Does Jesus know, and lead the way? [Refrain]
