Jesus Understands


When those around unduly chide,

When tempted much, or sorely tried,

I quickly run to Jesus’ side,

For Jesus understands.


When those I dearly love forsake,

It seems as though my heart would break,

My burden to the Lord I take;

For Jesus understands.


My Saviour too was left alone

By those He cherished as His own,

So now beside His Father’s throne,

My Jesus understands.


By Judas’ kiss betrayed was He,

Denied by Peter openly,

By those He loved, nailed to the tree,

So Jesus understands.


No grief too small for Him to feel,

No wound too deep for Him to heal,

No other friend so true and real;

My Jesus understands.
