Jesus Loves Me

 

Intro

 

Verse 1          Jesus loves me, this I know

                        For the Bible tells me so.

                        Little ones to Him belong;

                        They are weak, but He is strong.

 

Chorus          Yes, Jesus loves me.

                        Yes, Jesus loves me.

                        Yes, Jesus loves me,

                        For the Bible tells me so.

 

Verse 2          Jesus loves me, He who died,

                        Heavens gates to open wide.

                        He will wash away my sin;

                        Let His little child come in.

Chorus

 

Verse 3          Jesus loves me, loves me still,

                        Tho’ I’m very weak and ill.

                        From His shining throne on high,

                        Comes to watch me where I lie.

Chorus

 

Verse 4          Jesus loves me; He will stay

                        Close beside me all the way.

                        If I love Him ‘til I die,

                        He will take me home on high.

           

Chorus          (Turn-around twice)  END

 

(2nd verse from Internet lyrics)

Jesus loves me loves me still,

Tho’ I’m very weak and ill.

That I might from sin be free,

Bled and died upon the tree.
