Does He Care?


Do you ever wonder if God's love is real?
Do you ever wonder if he's there?
Do you ever wonder if Jesus is listening?
Do you wonder if He really cares?

How many people would give up their child
or give up their life for another?
How many people would to hell and back;
suffer torment and strife for a brother?

Would we really suffer the ultimate heartache;
the death of our only child?
Would we really turn our backs on our children;
leave them abandoned in a world run wild?

That's what the Father did when He sacrificed Jesus;
His wonderful beloved Son.
He sent him to earth just for our sake.
The grief of a Father was a battle won.

How can we ever thank Jesus,
and the love and mercy He gives.
Where would we be without his blood,
the one thing in life that makes us live.

Do we ever fully realize,
what it took to fulfill the Father's will?
He had to stand by and watch his only son
beaten, tortured and killed.

So when you're not sure if the Lord's love is deep,
if you're not sure that He's really there...
Just look at a child and think of the Father
who had his Son put to death.
How can you doubt that He cares?
