Jesus Understands

Are you going through something tough
And feel like a stranger in foreign lands
Take your burdens to the Lord
Jesus understands!

Have you suffered many things
Life didn't turn out as you planned
You feel all of life's cuts and stings
Jesus understands!

Do you feel your back will break
Under the strain of all these demands
They seem much more than you can take
Jesus understands!

Does it seem that everyone has left you
Now that your troubles outnumber the sands
"Nobody knows you when you're down and out"
Jesus understands!

If troubles were a main course
Man, you'd have a feast!
What you need in your life
Is the help of the Great High Priest

No matter how severe your problems
And all the darkness and the bleakness
Jesus the Great High Priest
Sympathizes with your every weakness

He's been through the Wilderness
Been tempted in things great and small
And he emerged sinless and undefeated
And won the Victory through it all!

He stands ready to help you
"Out of your bondage, sorrow, and night"
Tell Him your worries and troubles
And believe in His Power and Might!

Dear Friend, you are not alone.
No, not in the least!
You have the succor and comfort
Of Jesus, Your Great High Priest!
