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
