I was living down in the valley
Couldn't handle my own affairs
When Jesus came unto me
And said, do you know who really cares?
Then a feeling came over me
From my head down to my feet
That’s how I know that Jesus cares for me

Jesus, oh yes, Jesus cares for me
He's my father, my mother, my sister, and my brother
He's everything that no one else could be
Now the light of his love is all that I can see
That’s how I know that Jesus cares for me

The very moment when he touched me
I felt my sins depart
He has given me the answers
To the burdens of my heart
He is molding and making my life what it should be
That's how I know that Jesus cares for me

Jesus, oh yes, Jesus cares for me
He's my father, my mother, my sister, and my brother
He's everything that no one else could be
Now the light of his love is all that I can see
That's how I know that Jesus cares for me
That's how I know that Jesus cares for me
