1 Though you are helpless and lonely and poor,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus;
Tho' bitter sorrows you have to endure,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus.

Chorus:
Somebody loves you wherever you are;
Tho' from life's battles you've many a scar,
Tho' in strange by-ways you've wandered afar,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus.

2 Though you are weary and trials come fast,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus;
His strength will comfort you unto the last,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus. [Chorus]

3 Though you have grieved Him and saddened His heart,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus;
You in His tenderness still have a part,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus. [Chorus]

4 Though you are friendless and dark seems the way,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus;
There is one Friend who forever will stay,
Somebody loves you: 'tis Jesus. [Chorus]
