Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 ‎#165

165. Jesus Understands

1 It matters not how long the way,
Or drear the desert sands;
My heart has comfort all the day,
For Jesus understands.

Refrain:
Yes, Jesus understands,
And I am in his hands;
His love abides, my heart confides,
And Jesus understands.

2 It matters not if sorrows smite,
Or storms sweep sea and lands;
That all my way be plung’d in night,
If Jesus understands. [Refrain]

3 It matters not where I must go,
If God my journey plans;
And oh, ’tis blessedness to know
That Jesus understands. [Refrain]
