God Cares P l ea se w r it e o little poem on ‘God cares,’ ” A missionary said to me one day; I promised her I ’d try; hut when I did, It seemed that there was nothing I could say. For it has all been said, long years ago, In words surpassing feeble ones of mine: John three, sixteen—you know the precious verse, That throbs and glows with won drous love divine. God cares! For all the poor, lost world, God cares! He gave His very best to prove it true; He sent His only Son for us to die — He cares as much as this, for me and you! He cares for those who never heard of Him, Lost souls in China, India, every where; And He would have us care, yes, care enough The story of. His love with them to share. —E dith L illian Y oung .
