Lyrics

Failing in strength when op­pressed by my foes,
Somebody knows, some­bo­dy knows,
Waiting for some­one to ban­ish my woes,
Somebody knows, ’tis Je­sus.

Refrain

Somebody knows, some­bo­dy knows,
When I am tempt­ed and tried by my foes;
He is the one who will keep me—
Somebody knows—’tis Je­sus.

Why should I fear when the care bil­lows roll?
Somebody knows, some­bo­dy knows;
When the deep sha­dows sweep over my soul,
Somebody knows, ’tis Je­sus.

Refrain

Wounded and help­less and sick with dis­tress,
Somebody knows, some­bo­dy knows,
Longing for home and a mo­ther’s caress,
Somebody knows, ’tis Je­sus.
