Lyrics

When your life is burdened with a load of care,
And you need a helper good and true;
When your soul is sinking into dark despair,
Oh, remember, Je­sus loves you.

Refrain

Oh, remember, Je­sus loves you,
And He ever watches you;
When the days are long,
And everything goes wrong,
Oh, remember, Je­sus loves you.

When the day is ended and the shadows fall,
And you feel discouraged, sad and blue;
When the lurking tempter would your life enthrall,
Oh, remember, Je­sus loves you.

Refrain

When the world has left you, and you stand alone,
And you know not what is best to do,
Seek the one true helper whose great love is known—
Oh, remember, Je­sus loves you.
