Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

My Jesus knows when I am lonely

He knows each pain; He sees each tear

He understands each lonely heartache

He understands and always cares.


My Jesus knows just what I need

O yes, He knows just what I need

He satisfies and ev?ry need supplies

Yes, He knows just what I need.


My Jesus knows when I am burdened

He knows how much my heart can bear

He lifts me up when I am sinking

He brings me joy beyond compare.


When other friends seem to forget me

When skies are dark, when hope seems gone

By faith I feel His arms about me,

And hear Him say, ?You?re not alone.?


My Jesus knows just what I need

O yes, He knows just what I need

He satisfies and ev?ry need supplies

Yes, He knows just what I need.


My Jesus knows what I need

Yes, He knows.
