Sometimes it's a cruel world we live in
Heartache and trouble everywhere
People all around are asking
Does anyone really care?
There is someone whose love is true
He knows just what you're going through
Jesus is no stranger…to the blues

Lost in this wilderness we travel
His footprints lead us to the stream
Every temptation that we battle
He paid the price to set us free
Betrayed by a close friend
Whipped and bruised
All for the likes of me and you
Jesus is no stranger
Jesus is no stranger…to the blues

He understands when no one else can
Don't you know, he's seen it all
Now he's standing there…arms open wide
Run to him…he's taken the fall

So, do we live our lives defeated
Acting weary and lowdown
That ol' devil…he's a cheater
Don't you let him steal your crown
Hold on to one whose love is true
He knows just what you're going through
Jesus is no stranger
Jesus is no stranger
Jesus is no stranger…to the blues
