1. Failing in strength when oppressed by my foes,
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
Waiting for someone to banish my woes,
Somebody knows, ’tis Jesus.
Refrain
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
When I am tempted and tried by my foes;
He is the one who will keep me—
Somebody knows—’tis Jesus.
2. Why should I fear when the care billows roll?
Somebody knows, somebody knows;
When the deep shadows sweep over my soul,
Somebody knows, ’tis Jesus. [Refrain]
3. Wounded and helpless and sick with distress,
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
Longing for home and a mother’s caress,
Somebody knows, ’tis Jesus. [Refrain]
