God understands your sorrow

Song by Oswald J. Smith

1.  God understands your sorrow,

He sees the falling tear,

And whispers, "I am with thee;"

then falter not, nor fear.

He understands your longing,

Your deepest grief He shares;

Then let Him bear your burden,

He understands, and cares.

2.   God understands your heartache,

He knows the bitter pain;

O, trust Him in the darkness,

you cannot trust in vain.

He understands your longing,

Your deepest grief He shares;

Then let Him bear your burden,

He understands, and cares

3.  God understands your weakness,

He knows the tempter's power;

And He will walk beside you

however dark the hour.

He understands your longing,

Your deepest grief He shares;

Then let Him bear your burden,

He understands, and cares

Never Alone

1. I’ve seen the lightning flashing,

  And heard the thunder roll;

I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,

  Trying to conquer my soul;

I’ve heard the voice of Jesus,

  Telling me still to fight on;

He promised never to leave me,

  Never to leave me alone.

Chorus

No, never alone,

No, never alone,

He promised never to leave me,

Never to leave me alone;

No, never alone,

No, never alone,

He promised never to leave me,

Never to leave me alone.

2. The world’s fierce winds are blowing,

  Temptations are sharp and keen;

I feel a peace in knowing

  My Savior stands between;

He stands to shield me from danger,

  When earthly friends are gone,

He promised never to leave me,

  Never to leave me alone.

3. When in affliction’s valley,

  I’m treading the road of care,

My Savior helps me to carry

  My cross when heavy to bear;

My feet entangled with briars,

  Ready to cast me down;

My Savior whispered His promise,

  Never to leave me alone.

4. He died for me on the mountain,

  For me they pierced His side,

For me He opened that fountain,

  The crimson, cleansing tide;

For me He waiteth in glory,

  Seated upon His throne;

He promised never to leave me,

  Never to leave me alone.
