Does Jesus Care?

Does Jesus Care?
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained too deep for mirth or song
as the burdens press, and the cares distress and the way grows weary and long?
Does Jesus care when my way is dark witha nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shaes, does He care enough to be near?
Does Jesus care when I've tried and failed to resist some temptation strong?
When for my deep grief there is no relief, though my tears flow all the night long?
Does Jesus care when I've said "goodbye" to the dearest on earth to me;
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks. Is it aught to Him? Does he see?
OH YES HE CARES I KNOW HE CARES! HIS HEART IS TOUCHED WITH MY GRIEF!
WHEN THE DAYS ARE WEARY, THE LONG NIGHTS DREARY, I KNOW MY SAVIOR CARES!!!!!!
I made this card for the free for all challenge to have a word or phrase repeated over and over as part of the background of the card. I used my computer to print, OH YES HE CARES over and over. I printed this old hymn on blue cardstock. I added a photo cut from a calendar that my aunt gave me. (It was from last month's picture) I stamped the lighthouse from Mark's Finest Papers set called WELCOME HOME. I added twine and brads and sewed around the edges. I made this for an older friend from church. He hurt his back this week and had to go to the emergency room today because he couldn't move at all. I hope that it will encourage him and remind him that JESUS does indeed care, and so do I.

  1. MariLynn this is amazing, and the words of that hymn so resonate with me. Love the card, and the reason you have made it - to share God's love and show you also care.
