so i Google ~ Charles Frederick Weigle 1871-1966

Charles Weigle's most famous song, No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus, was the product of one of the darkest periods of his life. He spent most of his life as an itinerant evangelist and gospel songwriter. One day after returning home from an evangelistic crusade, he found a note left by his wife of many years. The note simply said she had had enough of an evangelist's life and was leaving him.

He later said that he became so despondent during the next several years that there were times when he contemplated suicide. He even wondered if anyone really cared for him, but after a time, his faith was again restored and he became active for the Lord again. Soon he felt compelled to write a song that would be a summary of his past tragic experience.

From a heart that had been broken came these words that God gave to comfort him.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus; There's no other friend so kind as He; No one else could take the sin and darkness from me. O how much He cared for me!

I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true; I would tell you how He changed my life completely, He did something that no other friend could do.

All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me; All my heart was full of misery and woe; Jesus placed His strong and loving arms around me, And He led me in the way I ought to go.

Ev'ry day He comes to me with new assurance, More and more I understand His words of love; But I'll never know just why He came to save me, Till someday I see His blessed face above.
