The poet, John Gowans (former international leader of The Salvation Army), wrote love songs. His most popular in Salvation Army circles is, arguably, Someone Cares, which begins with the Do you sometimes feel that no one truly knows you, and that no one understands or really cares? The answer? Someone cares! I am so thankful that John Gowans also cared. He cared enough to contemplate and communicate the unmerited, unconditional and unending love of God, a love that is for everyone, whether they care or couldn t care less. Sadly (for us not for him), John Gowans died in December 2012. However, he left a legacy of lyrics and willed his words to all who would enter into and enjoy them. Here s praying you do both between these covers.
