Lyrics
When the world's problems around you
mount like there's no tomorrow,
Tearful fears come and surround you--
leaving you in deep sorrow,
Jesus knows your pain,
Jesus knows your pain,
When your lost turn
to the cross, for--
Jesus knows your pain,
When your friends turn tail and leave you,
Scattering to parts unknown,
Family or friends deceive you
and you're left to fend alone,
Jesus knows your pain,
Jesus knows your pain,
Don't despair, He's
always there, yes--
Jesus knows your pain,
Jesus faced trials and temptation
while here in this earthly life,
Turn to Jesus for salvation
from your pain and daily strife,
Jesus knows your pain,
Jesus knows your pain,
He'll uphold you,
Won't disown you--
Jesus knows your pain,
(tag)
When you're lost turn
to the cross, for--
Jesus knows your pain,
