One night, Dr. Charles F. Weigle went through a period of great stress of soul, brought on by a domestic problem. He sat down at the piano with this thought in mind: “Jesus knows all about us and he truly cares for us more than any other.”
A short time earlier, he had walked to the pier near his home and, for a few faltering seconds, thought that he could end his personal torment by jumping into the gulf of Mexico. Something had stopped him.
Now, back at the house, his hands fell on the keys and he began to play and sing. In about twenty minutes a great song was born.
Charles Weigle has written more than four hundred songs; several have become very popular among Christians everywhere, perhaps none more beloved than this one:
++++++++++
No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus
(1) I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus.
Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true;
I would tell you how he changed my life completely,
He did something that no other friend could do.
CHORUS:
No one ever cared for me like Jesus,
There’s no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me,
O’, how much He cared for me.
(2) All my life was full of sin, when Jesus found me,
All my life was full of misery and woe;
Jesus placed His sstrong and loving arms around me,
And He led me in the way I ought to go.
(3) Every day He comes to me with new assurance,
More and more I understand His words of love;
But I’ll never know just why He came to save me,
Till some day I see His blessed face above.
Be the first to react on this!
