Sometimes itÂ’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 youÂ’re going through
Jesus is no strangerÂ…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 strangerÂ…to the blues

He understands when no one else can
DonÂ’t you know, heÂ’s seen it all
Now heÂ’s standing thereÂ…arms open wide
Run to himÂ…heÂ’s taken the fall

So, do we live our lives defeated
Acting weary and lowdown
That olÂ’ devilÂ…heÂ’s a cheater
DonÂ’t you let him steal your crown
Hold on to one whose love is true
He knows just what youÂ’re going through
Jesus is no stranger
Jesus is no stranger
Jesus is no strangerÂ…to the blues
