25. “Jesus Loves Me”

I received these “new” words to the familiar song “Jesus loves me” and thought I would share them with you. I’m not sure who the author is– if you do please let me know so I can post it.

Jesus dying on the tree
Means Jehovah’s just decree-
Words of Him who cannot lie:-
“Whoso sinneth, he shall die.”
 
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! He died upon the tree.
 
Jesus dying on the tree
Means the sentence passed on me
Has descended on His head,
And that He hath died instead.
 
Jesus dying on the tree
Means that mercy now is free;
Free to bless, since He hath died,
And God’s justice satisfied.
 
Jesus dying on the tree
Means – and oh, how blest to see-
That believing, I’m forgiven,
White as snow, and meet for Heaven.

    JESUS LOVES ME

    Jesus loves me, this I know,
    Though my hair is white as snow
    Though my sight is growing dim,
    Still He bids me trust in Him.

    (CHORUS)
    YES, JESUS LOVES ME, YES, JESUS LOVES ME,
    YES, JESUS LOVES ME, THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

    Though my steps are oh, so slow,
    With my hand in His I’ll go
    On through life, let come what may,
    He’ll be there to lead the way.
    (CHORUS)

    When the nights are dark and long,
    In my heart He puts a song..
    Telling me in words so clear,
    “Have no fear, for I am near..”
    (CHORUS)

    When my work on earth is done,
    And life’s victories have been won.
    He will take me home above,
    Then I’ll understand His love.
    (CHORUS)

    I love Jesus, does He know?
    Have I ever told Him so?
    Jesus loves to hear me say,
    That I love Him every day.
    (CHORUS)
