Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Psalm 139:2
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:15-16
No one understands like Jesus.
He’s a friend beyond compare;
Meet Him at the throne of mercy;
He is waiting for you there.
No one understands like Jesus;
Ev’ry woe He sees and feels;
Tenderly He whispers comfort,
And the broken heart He heals.
No one understands like Jesus
When the foes of life assail;
You should never be discouraged;
Jesus cares and will not fail!
No one understands like Jesus
When you falter on the way;
Tho’ you fail Him, sadly fail Him,
He will pardon you today.
CHORUS:
No one understands like Jesus
When the days are dark and grim;
No one is so near, so dear as Jesus–
Cast your ev’ry care on Him!

We are so blessed to have Jesus on our side.
I wish I lived in the truth of this more…
Thanks for the reminder.
What a beautiful hymn!
Haven’t sung this hymn for a long time, but it still has a wonderful message!
What a great song & how true!
It reminded me of another favorite of mine:
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.
So I posted that on my blog today, with acknowledgment of where I was inspired! ;>)
Have a lovely day!
What gorgeous lyrics! I love it! Certainly speaks truth!
Lovely hymn – the words are encouraging!
Wow….
This was a great encouragement. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit and posting this message. It is a blessing.
