No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus

An excellent rendition of this song sung by Terry Blackwood and written by Charles Weigle.

CHARLES WEIGLE (1871-1966) was a Baptist evangelist and a gospel songwriter. He grew up in a Christian home and was converted at age 12. He was trained at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.

After God called him to preach, Weigle's wife gave him an ultimatum that she would leave him unless he gave up the ministry. In great agony of soul, he explained to her that he could not turn away from God's call, and he begged her not to leave. Turning a deaf ear to his pleas, she left him and took their only daughter to a far-away city.

After living in debauchery for some time, she died, and Weigle re-married to a godly Christian woman. Weigle preached gospel meetings far and wide and saw much fruit to the glory of Christ. He also wrote some 1,000 gospel songs; the most famous is the lovely "No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus."

He spent the last 15 years of his life at Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, where he was greatly loved by the faculty and students. His memory was still fragrant when I arrived there seven years after his death. The school dedicated its music building to his memory.

You are most welcome!

I believe that's Terry Blackwood singing that timeless, beautiful song on TBN...several years back (Terry looks young). I went to Tennessee Temple Univ in the early 80's and it was still the signature song of the college; I was a music major there. I've moved along stylistically in my music, but that song still moves me in its original, traditional style. Thanks, Terry and thanks Dr. Weigle!

My dad had a beautiful bass voice and loved to sing this song. Just weeks before he left us for his heavenly home I awoke from a dream that he was singing this song and it was being played throughout my house. It was a wonderful reminder that God loved him and loves me too.

Ya, I just had this little video on my library and so I thought I'd put it up on YouTube rather than just have it sit on the shelf. I thought it might bless somebody. A positive message, no doubt. Thanks for watching!

Thank you Terry, for your beautiful rendering of the song, No one ever cared for me like Jesus. Your personal expression of the above song greatly moved upon my heart, bring countless tears to my eyes. I plan on doing this very song for special music this coming Sabbath. I trust the Holy Spirit will likewise move upon my heart, as He obviously did upon your heart. May the Lord continue to richly bless you, as you continue to sing to His glory. Phil.

No hinário de música da CCB BR é o hino 253.Só Jesus é Amigo verdadeiro.Contarei a todos a real grandeza.A virtude e graça que vem do Senhor.Tranformando a minha vida de tristeza,Em alegre vida cheia de amor.Coro:Só Jesus é amigo verdadeiro,Conservar desejo Seu amor...
