Jesus Knows Thy Sorrow

 

This may be a repeat post here, but it is a good poem for this time of year. There are usually a lot of hurting hearts around this season, but this year is especially so. Jesus knows and understands if you are hurting right now. Take your burdens and struggles to Him.

Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Jesus Knows Thy Sorrow

Jesus knows thy sorrow,

Knows thine every care;

Knows thy deep contrition,

Hears thy feeblest prayer;

Do not fear to trust Him --

Tell Him all thy grief;

Cast on Him thy burden,

He will bring relief.

Trust the heart of Jesus,

Thou art precious there;

Surely He would shield thee

From the tempter's snare;

Safely He would lead thee,

By His own sweet way,

Out into the glory

Of a brighter day.

Jesus knows thy conflict,

Hears thy burdened sigh;

When thy heart is wounded,

Hears thy plaintive cry;

He thy soul will strengthen,

Overcome thy fears;

He will send thee comfort,

Wipe away thy tears.

--Rev. W.O Cushing

Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
