CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION 

While Christmas is a time for celebration, sometimes it is difficult for some people who are going through some great difficulty. They love the Lord and rejoice in what He has done, but they are hurting, fearful, confused, and worried. The Bible even gives us examples of great men who felt that no one cared. If that’s the case with you, please read the lyrics to the song below. They say it better than I can—

1. Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
   Too deeply for mirth or song,
   As the burdens press, and the cares distress,
   And the way grows weary and long?
   • Refrain:
     Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares,
     His heart is touched with my grief;
     When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
     I know my Savior cares.
2. Does Jesus care when my way is dark
   With a nameless dread and fear?
   As the daylight fades into deep night shades,
   Does He care enough to be near?
3. Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed
   To resist some temptation strong;
   When for my deep grief there is no relief,
   Though my tears flow all the night long?
4. Does Jesus care when I’ve said “goodbye”
   To the dearest on earth to me,
   And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks—
   Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

Hopefully this will remind all of us that Jesus knows, cares, and can help! Whatever is against you, God is for you, Christ is with you and able to meet every need. That is cause for celebration! Merry Christmas. – HDS
