First : the original children's hymn - Jesus Loves Me Jesus loves me!
This I know,
Refrain:
Jesus loves me!
This I know,
Jesus loves me
still today,
Jesus loves me!
He who died
Jesus loves me!
He will stay
Jesus loves me!
He will stay
+ * * * + I felt I needed to add these verses - To impress a child to sing It's so abstract you'd think they'd lack Hope to recall this lyric back. And can you honestly believe He loves them when they are me ? Jesus loves me, this I know Yet I am tossed to and fro Little ones to Him belong But then we grow up oh so wrong. Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me To see Him right I must be wrong Not a child and not a man But be a woman: Yes I Can ! I endure like history How and Why's a mystery I know alone I can do it Make me take help it turns to bad I know that I'm capable But people claim I'm unstable They then cannot co-operate 'cuz to the gate I'm always late . So I must give up my trust In all that has sustained me thus . And I find that all along People have claimed what He has done . Now I know this song I sing Is not some cute kids rhyming thing I smile when out of mouths of babes Comes the words of how they're saved . But as a cute kids rhyming thing Word play can say anything You know that you are condemned You're gonna' die and live again .
