He Cares

Man... I know it gets hard sometimes

And to be honest this life doesn't seem that fair at times

But I understand that we serve a great God who's sovereign

He's got everything in control and, even though it looks dim man, trust in Him

We grew up on the same block, handling the same rock

The Skip to My Lou, my little crew on the black top

My big homie [?], always dying for me,

Older, so I looked up to him dawg he was like family

The coolest of the cool, and, almost through his school but,

During the last week he got broken off with the heat

Now he's gone and his kids are left alone

It's got me peeping Solomon for more than just his Song Ecclesiastes

I wish I could turn back the hands of time

For all the people who lost a loved one

And felt like they was gone before they time

But instead I'll encourage us to put our trust in Jesus

And know that God is sovereign it all happens for a reason

Keep your eyes to the hills and believe that help is on the way

Although the sky is black, He promises a brighter day

Weeping man, endure for a night

I know it's hard to wait patiently,

So I pray He strengthens you in the wait

[Hook:]

When you feel all alone

When your father's not at home

When your joy turns to gray

You can turn and call on Jesus name

Cast your burdens on the Lord

When life seems too hard

He won't allow you to be moved

And I know He will sustain you.

There's so much pain the city streets, check the city peeps

We're in perilous times which means that pain is sure to increase

So I, do this ballad for the beautiful babies gone now

And for the families who too afraid to leave home now

Like the family in Chicago who's daughter was ten

And at a birthday party, she was taken from them

I write this song for my neighbors on this side of my state,

Who had lives, but watched Katrina wash it away.

Plus, I know the pain of a life without your father

Even have the chance to meet him but you think why even bother

Because you don't really miss nothing you never really had

But that thinking leaves you lonely, still longin' for your dad

Man, if we would only take the truth of text

Read Lamentations 3: 32 for the rest

And see the truth that the Father loves us

Even though He brings calamity, He gives us compassion like hugstaz

[Hook:]

When you feel all alone

When your father's not at home

When your joy turns to gray

You can turn and call on Jesus name

Cast your burdens on the Lord

When life seems too hard

He won't allow you to be moved

And I know He will sustain you.

We live in a world, and when it rains and pours - I know it does man

And when bad things happen to good people in this world man

When the poor get poorer and the richer have the upper hand

Where pain is related to actions, so no one moves and

It's hard for us to understand the ways of life

Take my cousin last year for example when she lost her life

To a drunk diver, now she was sweeter than Godiva

They said she died on impact and this dude was the survivor

I recognize, that life brings pain that will cease for a time

And then it returns but we long for a consistent peace of mind (Lord)

So I present Jesus for those who feel burdened

The same God who allows evil, steps sin and gets spurned for it

Ambassador said one day we will cry no more

But in the meantime go and cast your cares on the Lord!

'Cause he cares for you, psalms 55 and 22 (psalm 55: 22)

Gives us the proof that this God will see you through.

[Hook:]

When you feel all alone

When your father's not at home

When your joy turns to gray

You can turn and call on Jesus name

Cast your burdens on the Lord

When life seems too hard

He won't allow you to be moved

And I know He will sustain you.

Amen. He cares man. Even when it seems dark, He cares.

The Father loves us. He cares for us man.

Please believe me, He loves you.
