1. No one understands like Jesus.
He's a friend beyond compare;
Meet Him at the throne of mercy;
He is waiting for you there.
No one understands like Jesus
When the days are dark and grim;
No one is so near, so dear as Jesus
Cast your ev'ry care on Him!
2. No one understands like Jesus;
Ev'ry woe He sees and feels;
Tenderly He whispers comfort,
And the broken heart He heals.
No one understands like Jesus
When the days are dark and grim;
No one is so near, so dear as Jesus
Cast your ev'ry care on Him!
3. No one understands like Jesus
When the foes of life assail;
You should never be discouraged;
Jesus cares and will not fail!
No one understands like Jesus
When the days are dark and grim;
No one is so near, so dear as Jesus
Cast your ev'ry care on Him!
4. No one understands like Jesus
When you falter on the way;
Tho' you fail Him, sadly fail Him,
He will pardon you today.
No one understands like Jesus
When the days are dark and grim;
No one is so near, so dear as Jesus
Cast your ev'ry care on Him!
John W. Peterson
Hymns for the Family of God
<idle musing>
I wasn't familiar with John W. Peterson until I moved to Madison. All of a sudden his hymns were everywhere—at least it seemed that way. The story behind this hymn is told here. Take the time to read it. I think you'll be glad you did.
