Somebody Cares

By Fanny Edna Stafford

Somebody knows when your heart aches, And everything seems to go wrong; Somebody knows when the shadows Need chasing away with a song; Somebody knows when you're lonely, Tired, discouraged, and blue; Somebody wants you to know Him, And know that He dearly loves you.
Somebody cares when you're tempted, And the world grows dizzy and dim; Somebody cares when you're weakest, And farthest away from Him; Somebody grieves when you've fallen, Though you are not lost from His sight; Somebody waits for your coming, Taking the gloom from your night.
Somebody loves you when weary; Somebody loves you when strong; Always is waiting to help you, Watches you, one of the throng Needing His friendship so holy, Needing His watch-care so true. His name?— We call His name Jesus. His people?—Just I and just you.
— Fanny Edna Stafford.
