He Cares For You
CANDI STATON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jesus knows how it feels to be lonely, Misunderstood so many times was he There were nights he couldn't fall
asleep, just like you – he wept; He knows how it feels to be sad, too. That's why,
He sees ev'ry little teardrop you cry, ev'ry little heartache inside;
He understands ev'ry little thing you do, Oh, he cares; he really, really cares for you.
He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquity.
The chastisement of our peace was upon him; he sacrificed his life for you and me, That's why,
He sees ev'ry little teardrop you cry, ev'ry little heartache inside;
He sees ev'ry little hurt that you feel; he loves you in spite of your fears
He knows ev'ry little thing you do; He came here just to love you: Oh
He sees ev'ry little teardrop you cry, ev'ry little heartache inside;
He understands ev'ry little thing you do, Oh, he cares; he really, really cares for you.
Oh, he cares; he really, really cares for you.
