Lyrics
Jesus took on all our pain,
Our sorrows and our sins.
He suffered more than words can say
For all the hurt that's ever been.
He knows how to comfort me
And He knows how to heal.
I can turn to Him for peace,
For He knows how I feel.
He knows every tear I cry
And every time I fall.
My deepest hopes, my darkest times -
I know Jesus felt them all.
He knows how to comfort me
And He knows how to heal.
I can turn to Him for peace,
For He knows how I feel.
No one else has suffered so,
Or bled from every pore.
No one else has given all.
No one loves me more.
He knows how to comfort me
And He knows how to heal.
I can turn to Him for peace,
For He knows how I feel.

Meaning & Inspiration
“He Knows” centers on Christ’s intimate knowledge of human suffering and His ability to bring comfort. The lyrics move from Jesus bearing sorrow, sin, and pain to a personal confession of trust. Each tear, fall, hope, and dark moment is presented as fully known to Him, so peace rests not in distance from pain but in His compassionate presence. The movement from the cross to present comfort connects Christ’s suffering with the quiet needs of an afflicted person.
The song’s language closely echoes biblical portraits of Jesus as one who sympathizes with human weakness and bears grief. Its repeated assurance that He can comfort and heal gives the piece a prayerful focus. The closing declaration of Christ’s love makes the refrain a quiet confession: suffering is seen, personal grief is known, and peace is found in Jesus.
