DO YOU KNOW MY JESUS? by V.B. (Vep) Ellis, W.F. (Bill) Lakey — Lyrics
About DO YOU KNOW MY JESUS?
"Do You Know My Jesus?" is a gentle, comforting hymn that speaks directly to the weary and burdened. Through a series of earnest questions, the song asks where we turn when we carry heavy loads of care, sorrow, or disappointment. It does not offer complicated theology, but rather a simple, profound invitation to find rest in Christ, presenting Him as a faithful friend who abides until the end.
In the choir loft, this piece is often chosen for moments of deep reflection, such as after Communion or during Lenten retreats. The straightforward melody allows the choir to focus entirely on the message, ministering to the congregation with warmth and sincerity. As the verses unfold, moving from the "Pilgrim" seeking light to the one needing tears dried, the recurring chorus serves as a reassuring anchor for anyone seeking comfort in worship.
