Lyrics

No one knows but Je­sus
How sinful I have been;
No one knows but Je­sus
All my heart within;
No one knows but Je­sus
My conflicts day by day;
No one like Je­sus
Guideth my way.
No one like Je­sus
Temptation can feel;
No one like Je­sus
My sorrow can heal;
No one knows but Je­sus
My conflicts day by day;
No one like Je­sus
Guideth my way.

No one knows but Je­sus
How oft His name I plead;
No one knows but Je­sus
Everything I need;
No one knows but Je­sus
How humble I would be;
No one like Je­sus
Careth for me;
No one like Je­sus
Will comfort and cheer,
Pity my weakness
And banish my fear.
No one knows but Je­sus
How humble I would be;
No one like Je­sus
Careth for me.

No one else like Je­sus
So rea­dy to forgive—
Pledge and promise broken
Nearer Him to live;
No one knows but Je­sus
The secret tears that fall;
No one like Je­sus
Hears when I call.
No one but Je­sus
My refuge shall be;
No one will love me
So dearly as He.
No one knows but Je­sus
The secret tears that fall;
No one like Je­sus
Hears when I call.
