In your pathway have you found
some cruel thorns?
Jesus bore them on His brow,
and He knows;
Does the world look down
upon you with its frown?
All the world forsook your Lord,
and He knows.
Jesus knows, yes, He knows;
He was weary, worn, and tried,
Bore our many sins beside,
Hungry, thirsty, crucified,
and He knows.
Are you weary with the toils
and cares of life?
Jesus labored night and day,
and He knows;
Does the sinful world annoy you
with its strife?
Jesus saw and heard it all,
and He knows.
Jesus knows, yes, He knows;
He was weary, worn, and tried,
Bore our many sins beside,
Hungry, thirsty, crucified,
and He knows.
Are you tempted with the world
so rich and gay?
Jesus once was tempted, too,
and He knows;
Does the tempter seek to
turn you from the way?
Jesus will your helper be,
for He knows.
Jesus knows, yes, He knows;
He was weary, worn, and tried,
Bore our many sins beside,
Hungry, thirsty, crucified,
and He knows.
Has the hand of death
your eyes bedimmed with tears?
Jesus wept for one He loved,
and He knows;
For some wand’rer have
you prayed for many years?
Jesus prayed for sinners lost,
and He knows.
Jesus knows, yes, He knows;
He was weary, worn, and tried,
Bore our many sins beside,
Hungry, thirsty, crucified,
and He knows.
Have your friends forsaken,
spurned you from their door?
So they did your blessed Lord,
and He knows;
Is there none to cheer
and comfort anymore?
Jesus bore the cross alone,
and He knows.
Jesus knows, yes, He knows;
He was weary, worn, and tried,
Bore our many sins beside,
Hungry, thirsty, crucified,
and He knows.
